    Sorry that I'm getting in here late. I had a problem somewhat like yours years ago. The Motherboard went bad causing symptoms like yours. I wasn't sure what the problem was Motherboard or CPU. I decided to replace the CPU. More bad news, the Motherboard fried the new CPU too! I ended up replacing the CPU again and the motherboard this time too. Then the computer was back to normal. Guess what I'm saying is that if your not sure which one is causing the problem to replace both for fear of frying another CPU. If you have the proper equipment you can check them but that's usually the problem no equipment. BTW it's a very, very long story and I won't get into it, but it worked both ways and the CPU fried a second motherboard (this was very costly to me)!

    1. Motherboard fried CPU (but I wasn't sure which was bad)
    2. Old CPU didn't work with New Motherboard and fried New Motherboard(wasn't sure which was bad)
    3. Bought New CPU, then New Motherboard (fried above #2) fried New CPU
    4. Bought New Motherboard and New CPU again

    Something shorted the Motherboard causing all of this with the original Motherboard & CPU. I had Arctic Silver 5 applied properly to the CPU so this wasn't the problem with mine. I wish you good luck with your computer.
