Hey everyone,
alright so here's my story...first of all I had an old motherboard which had a AM2 slot for the CPU. Also,I have a Double Diamond Radeon HD 7770 GhZ Edition,and apparently it couldn't give it's 100% because my CPU was really bad...it was a dual core. So I decided to buy a whole new motherboard with DDR3 Ram. Unfortunately,I didn't check that the motherboard I bought only supported SATA connections. But not worries,I had to buy a new hard drive anyways because I only had a 320GB. The CPU I bought is a AMD FX 8350 8 core processor. So when I installed everything. I booted up my PC and I installed all my drivers and components I needed. The system needed to reboot a few times,so I did. But once I tried to login into my system,20-30 seconds later my PC restarted...WITHOUT any warning or error. So then I kept trying but it would do the same thing over and over again. I tried going into Safe Mode,and it worked perfectly...well,almost. I tried opening google chrome/internet explorer and whenever it would load a website like Youtube or Facebook,you would see the images and other stuff loading,and then it would restart. Later on I tried to press F8 when the PC started so I can choose a different option. I chose "Disable automatic restart on system failure" to see if that would work...guess what. This time,the system didn't restart,it just shut down completely,and again,WITHOUT any warnings or errors. Then I thought that maybe it's my graphics card,so I tried installing my older card,the 6570HD,but same problem. I did make sure that the drivers were up-to-date,downloaded from the website directly. Finally I gave up and I dropped my PC to a shop called "MicryBytes" and the technician over there told me that my power supply wasn't good enough to power up everything. It's a 400W...okay. I agree that kinda sucks and I can get a 600-700W one. Also,he said that my processor was "Damaged" I couldn't believe it...it was brand new and it was damaged? How the...Whatever,Okay. He told me that he was gonna send this back to AMD and they would send a new one... I actually doubt it.
So my question is... is AMD really going to send a new processor? Because it's been almost 2 weeks since it's in the shop and he was telling me that the processor would come within 3-5 days. Well,it's been a while now and I need my PC back. Is he playing with me or something? The processor just never came...
What should I do? Should I get my PC back? Even if I do,I don't even know that if he actually still has my "Damaged" processor.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks.
