latest update guys always make sure when checking the CPU on any unit that the pins on the CPU are in good shape and also make sure you are puting it in right. on the friend pc he removed it at some point and well the pins were bent making hi's computer shut off and protecting it self. what a headache it gave me but we found out that was the whole dilema with his pc. now his computer is working like new. this is a great forum and i will keep visiting it. and i hope to learn for you pc guru's. my next adventure will be making my own PC. well untill next time and one again thanks to all that gave me a hand.
