I have a working CPU and motherboard. I also have a CPU and motherboard with no video. I don't know if the problem is with the CPU or motherboard. To try and determine whether the CPU or motherboard is bad, I put the questionable CPU into the good motherboard. The good motherboard now says the RAM is bad. If I put the good CPU back into the motherboard the RAM is fine.
If I put the good CPU into the questionable motherboard the fan turns on and off repeatedly.
Any ideas on why the combination of CPUs and motherboards are behaving so strangely?
