I have Ubuntu 14.10 and have comcast. We have up to 25 mbs service and here on my computer with 14.10 I am getting no more then 5 mbs whereas on my wifes laptop (chromebook) she is getting a good 15 mbs. I'm pretty sure it's the wireless network card in my computer. I have this one: http://...

Got it up and running. If only I could overclock it, but it's an intel board and the bios won't let me. Can't find any kind of FSB downloads either. I put linux on it.

I just ordered one off of ebay for $6.50. Hopefully this works. If not, I will post about it.

I will take it off and try to seat it flush again.

The heatsink pins are broken but the heatsink is on there very tight.

When I boot up i get the code: PXE-E61- media test failure, check cable.

Yes, it looks like that and no, it's not hot.

I have a blank Hdd, which means no OS on it. Heat sink...I really hate to ask because I don't want to sound stupid but where is that?

I briefly looked over them. I will check them in a little bit. What would I need to do if the temperature sensor is messed up?

really? The case came with 2 fans and they work. It's Rosewill FB-03 Dual Fans ATX Mid Tower Computer Case.

Yes, but it seems to be working overtime. Very loud.

Cleaned and reaplied it.

Yes it has thermal past.

I managed to get into the bios and the cpu temp said 103c. The fan is over working it seems. It's an Intel core 2 duo 2.4 ghz chip. Build the computer out of used parts and everything else is working...so any ideas why the temp is so high? How do I lower it? Could it be the very crappy PSU...

A crappy coolmax 400w PSU.
