Just tried my CPU in a different computer and it worked fine with the right clock speeds and voltages. Tried a different CPU (same model) in my computer with several different sticks of ram in different slots and it once again boot looped and showed the weird 2ghz clock problem. I'm thinking...

I have already tried a different PSU I know to work and it still boot looped unfortunately.

After coming back from a 2 week holiday, when I turned on my PC I found that it boot looped without the fans spinning down and too quickly to get into bios but after displaying the post screen for a second. After trying lots of different things I could boot once by making different hardware...

Just tried screwing the sockets around a little with a safety pin and its actually a 20+4 pin connector. The 4 pins will fit in fine but the rest don't. I think its because they are not straight so I will continue to try and straighten them - seems a bit precarious but I don't see another solution.

I have spent at least an hour trying to fit a 24-pin power connector from the power supply into the socket on the motherboard. At first we thought that the reason it did not go in was that there was a tab in the way which we had to pull back but after trying repetitively we did not succeed and...
