Hi, I need your help...
My computer has been acting weird lately. The first time it went wrong it suddenly got stuck, and when I tried to start it it kept giving me the "system failed CPU test" audio message. When I looked this up it said that the factors for this problem are the CPU, motherboard and PSU. Because my PSU was making weird sounds I decided to replace this first. This however didn't solve the problem, and I don't feel like replacing anything else without knowing what the problem is. I removed the heatsink fan from the CPU and saw that the gel had dried up. I put new gel on it, and the computer started up again. However, it keeps getting stuck at 50C and won't start up again untill I nudge the heatsink fan a little. What could be the problem? I have already flashed the bios with the latest version.
These are my stats;
Motherboard: Asus P5GD2 Premium
CPU: Pentium 4, 3.2GHz
Memory: 3Gb
PSU: OCZ Stealth 600Watt
Thanks in advance for your help
