| 65983 | 2002-07-27 08:40:00 | How can I test to see if my friends CPU is fried or not?? I know I can put it in a working motherboard and see if it boots up etc... but will I risk frying the motherboard as well by putting in a fried CPU??? | Jeffy (1230) | ||
| 65984 | 2002-07-27 08:58:00 | There are two things to try. Put the CPU in a good motherboard. Or a good CPU in the motherboard. Putting a fried CPU in a good mobo will not fry it. |

| 65985 | 2002-07-27 09:42:00 | There must be a reason you suspect the CPU When the power button is pressed, do any fans start - CPU or Power supply? If so - does the video start to where you see a BIOS screen? Is it a Pentium Slot 1 or above? I would not put another Pentium in that slot if so as the motherboard or power supply may have a fault that may damage another CPU and the CPU can be expensive If you can not get to the BIOS screen and the fans do not start then it is probably a power supply/motherboard fault or BIOS error. I have rarely seen CPUs die (unless you can see heat damage on it) |

| 65987 | 2002-07-28 02:41:00 | That looks like a good way to fry a good CPU. Those pins are closely spaced, and probe tips slip. Boom!! . :_| | Graham L (2) | ||
