I have narrowed down a persistent problem with my system to EITHER the CPU or MOBO.
For the purposes of the question, it makes no difference what the hardware is or how it was tested.
Suffice it to say.....everything else was tested thoroughly.
The two questions are:
What are the odds that a bad CPU placed into a new MOBO can ruin the new MOBO ?
Also
What are the odds that a Bad MOBO can ruin a new CPU ?
Thanks for your experienced and thoughtful insight
