PC dead

good to hear

I had painful issue. AfterI I left home, my father would tell me how PC would freeze and all he could do was to restart it.

The PC has originally Phenom X2 Black Edition CPU, however after few years of owning the the PC, I noticed that if I went to BIOS, I could unlock two more l "secret" cores. I went investigating that because, my PC was really weak and I knew I bought stronger machine. After applying correct multiplier and voltage, you end up with Phenom X 4. Magic! Anyway;

My PC was showing symptoms of malfunctioning RAM. At one point, after I did god knows what, after it restarted, it didn't boot, it didn't beep.

I replaced RAMs, still same. I went over various forums, mostly people that had this issueis, ended up buying new motherboards because, the old ones were fried.

Threee days without any success, don't know why, but I went and unplugged my CPU chip. I noticed few pins were missing, I think three and one was bent to the bottom. Now, the one thing I couldn't understand, and I believe all CPUs have same locking mechanism, how with bent pin it could sit in the right place so it could work?

So, I used a threading needle and it took me some long time in order to straighten it up without damaging other pins. Which happened, but I fixed them... theyre so sensitive, bend them too much and off they go.

I placed it back and turned on PC. Works better than earlier.

My conclusion is that shortcuts can give various symptoms, all you gotta do is check your stuff.

Works well enough with your signature

Everything is fine again, I replaced the severely malfunctioning RAM stick and added two others. Warframe works fine again, so I guess Freelancer and OBS will do as well.

I would also suggest investing in a surge protector, if you don't already have one.

It amazes me how people will go and buy a computer or indeed any other expensive electronic item and NOT spend an extra $50-$60 on a surge protector to help stop power surges and the like.

These days you can get surge protectors that even have ports to hook your phone line into to stop power surges coming through that!

I paid 100€ for that PC, so there is that.
