Hi

I would like to know what are some signs of cpu failure/defect. I recently purchased a new cpu and built a new computer. I have noticed that occasionally my mouse would lag for 1/4 a second and then continue to move again. I can't help but wonder if my cpu is defected.


thanks

tried using the hirens boot cd

but after selecting the hard drive test, autoscan doesn't show my hdd

i try using enter manually and just clicked something like the default ide port and it let me do a surface test, however the number of errors increase at the same rate the sectors are being scan so im pretty sure that's not my hdd
any idea?

working on it, but i bought it outside of us so it's gonna be a challenge.

But are there no way of getting the hdd show in hirens? it's just not showing so idt it is necessarily a hdd failure?
