re: From unable to boot to unable to even try that process Sunday, October 23, 2005 at 3:54 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by vinny romano (6 messages posted) You're apparently right. I was just fishing for someone that may have had the same problem and had already figured out what caused it. Thanks to my friend, after I did some tests he suggested 'remotely' it appears to be a dead processor. I unplugged everything from the MB (also suggested by the MB maker) and still nothing. 'Everything' means: all the drives, cards and fans. Then I removed first one, one then the other RAM chip. Then tried totally new RAM chips. NOTHING. He asked if the processor fan tries to start up when I press the power button. It doesnt. The case fans try to start but with only a split second power surge they only spin to a stop. I plugged the processor fan into a case fan power supply. Then it spun for a second just like the other case fans. SO, our conclusion: processor. I'll post an update once I try the new processor.
