| 1258578 | 2012-02-11 03:36:00 | Title pretty much explains it. Probably won't pay more than $40 sorry. PLS tell me if that is an unrealistic price :) Cheers, Skeptile |

| 1258579 | 2012-02-11 04:48:00 | Have to check the likes of trademe for that. What motherboard? a lot of AM2 boards can take AM3 cpus sometimes which you can buy new (cheapest is about $60 for a sempron) | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1258580 | 2012-02-11 05:05:00 | www.trademe.co.nz There are some dual core althons for around $50 too | icow (15313) | ||
| 1258581 | 2012-02-11 22:05:00 | I think the motherboard is one made especially for HP, as it was a "buy from the shop" one. so far I know that it has (or had) these parts (obviously the CPU broke). 360GB HDD, 2 DVD drives, a Sapphire GPU (sorry, don't know the exact model) an Athlon 64 5200+ X2 and an SD etc. card reader. I don't know the Mobo sorry. I'll try to find out, but as I cant exactly start it... I think that trademe will be the best option. I'll probably just go for the sempron that you listed icow. thanks so far! | skeptile2 (16539) | ||
| 1258582 | 2012-02-12 21:27:00 | Very unlikely that a CPU failed. Did you buy the mb on its own ?? | 1101 (13337) | ||
| 1258583 | 2012-02-14 22:23:00 | no, the pins bent lol. so I DO need a new one :) | skeptile2 (16539) | ||
| 1258584 | 2012-02-14 22:26:00 | Very unlikely that a CPU failed. Did you buy the mb on its own ?? We've actually had a 3-4 AMD 5200+ CPUs die in the last year or so. PC would work fine with another CPU so they were replaced under warranty. |

Sempron is the slowest and cheapest CPU line, don't get it unless you are really desperate. (Or just want to send emails and other relatively simple stuff) A second-hand Athlon would be a better idea, I think. |

| 1258586 | 2012-02-16 07:08:00 | hmmmm. I do have a sempron, as my signature says. recently got a computer from a family friend, and they said it had broken, so I thought that is may be overheating, so I wanted to change the heatsink, and the pins bent :P a seriously herp derp moment. but even so, I think it might be the bios not loading, becuase when it does load, windows starts up fine, but quite often the bios doesn't start at all. So I don't know what to do about that aswell. | skeptile2 (16539) | ||
