Location: Anytime, Anywhere. | I just switched out to a new CPU. Old one was an AMD athlon 64 duel core 4000 2.1GHz. New one is the same except its a 6000 3.0 GHz. now i got some kind of boot error at startup, and while running the fan speed spikes up pretty high randomly. The comp recognizes the new CPU, and everything seems to run fine except the fan. Warhammer runs way better now that my videocard isnt gimped by my cpu. Any ideas on the fan issue? Im assuming its getting hot but am not sure what to do about it. The cpu fan and heatsink are stock.
Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope. ...

Location: Fresno, CA | Was the CPU the only thing changed? MB the same? Is the boot error a windows BSD? If so is it 0x0000007b or 0x000000ed?

Location: Anytime, Anywhere. | All I changed was the CPU. I went into bios and switched something to "plug and play", I have no idea what that means but I managed fumble around and "fix' whatever it was doing... Future reference, how to I look up what errors my computer has? Like that boot error.
The fan is still going up and down during gaming.

| Did you put new thermal paste between the CPU and the Heatsink/Fan? And did you clean the old stuff off before re-using the heatsink/fan? |

Yeah there's your problem, you HAVE to apply lube before sticking it in there. geez. You need to hang out with Rezner more.
Get some of this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100007&cm_...
And use some of this before applying the previous to get a nice clean surface: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100010
Any Fry's store will have these, I don't know about best buy.
Oh, and follow the directions here: http://www.arcticsilver.com/ins_route_step2amdas5.html
Applying too much is worse than applying too little (you can short out your chip). Usually you just need a miniscule amount smaller than the size of a BB. |

Location: Santa Cruz, Ca | Dude, dont listen to those nerds! Trust me, your Motherboard is heartbroken, you took away her lover. You need to stroke and caress the MB in slow small circles right above the spot the CPU goes in. Once you see the post code lights turn red, carefully lube up the new Cpu and gently slide it into the MB. If the MB squirms a little, whisper how much you love it and that you're going to buy a shiny new case for it.
Soon you'll be pounding hard on her periphials and she'll be like "give me more.. give me more!!" and you'll be like "who's the muthufuking man!!!"
