I inherited a Dell a few years back discarded by the repairperson as unfixable, which turned out to have as its only fault a CPU fan which would freeze up randomly. cost $10 for a new one from Radio Shack, and that was with a new heatsink included.
You don't edit posts on Usenet.
People who use Googlegroups think they can...

Well, in that case, let me go back and edit my...

Well? Put in the new cpu and make a confirmation. That should tell us where the fault lies. :-) Waiting anxiously, Jango
Eh? How can you edit a USENET post? Whatever the case, your edit didn't work. Are you using a web forum to view this newsgroup?
The OP is a google grooper who thinks asking questions about browsing history in Internet Exploder is on topic for sci.electronics.repair

I come in here through
I'd say you have a very bright future if you can replace a diode inside a CPU. ;-)
You behave like an excited kid holding a candy bar, you won't eat the candy and all you want to do is show off to everyone "whee i got candy". You have a spare processor but wont put it in to make a confirmation. You come in here asking a tech question and then wont pay heed to anyones advice. You obviously have no intention of getting to the bottom of this problem, you're here to needle people who would invest time in trying to help (for free) and then poke a them endlessly over some stupid typo (which has been corrected). You appear to have some superiority complex because you subscribe to usenet. For me, it doesnt matter which site you're using, what's important is model, sympton and result. I hope your new spare processor gets zapped by static while you're handling it.

Are you referring to me? If so, learn how to post properly. Quote what you are replying to.
Who said I have a spare processor of the same type that would fit the MB? I didn't.
It helps if you try reading - and understanding - what has been said in the thread.
Quite the reverse. My whole intention was to try and understand the problem. If I didn't want to do that I'd have simply replaced the MB and CPU.
FFS, you didn't make a 'typo'. You suggested a coarse of action which was nonsense and posted that. Then realised how stupid it was and tried to retract it. Which can't be done.
Great. I'd suggest you learn a bit about how news groups work before getting all superior.
Oh - you've contributed precisely nothing to my knowledge of my particular motherboard or the resolve of the problem.
Who the hell are you addressing!?!? What content are you (trying) to rspond to!?!?
Oh, I see:

Please don't take my critique personally. I don't know you personally. My comment is aimed at ALL those that disregard the proper rules of netiquet.
You posted twice. This indicates that you are unfamiliar with your equipment and how to use it to post to usenet via google groups. You post to usenet without quoting the material to which you are replying. Your post is seen without any context by those of us that do not use Google groups, making your comments useless.
You and many users of google groups are like children that come into a movie theater in the middle of the movie and treat the theater like their home, running up and down the isles, jumping over seats, shouting comments to their friends, grabing a handful of my popcorn and taking a sip out of my drink.
YOUR behavior is rude.
This is usenet. You happen to be using google groups to read a usenet newsgroup.
The group has its own set of rules, called the FAQs. Read those rules before you post to the group.
Usenet has its own set of rules.
Learn the proper rules for using it.
What you just did is rude even though you felt justified.
Google on netiquet and study the 'rules of the road'.
When you click "Reply" at the bottom of any post to follow up an existing article, Google Groups includes the full article in quotes, with the cursor at the top of the article. Tempting though it is to just start typing your message, please STOP and do two things first. Look at the quoted text and remove parts that are irrelevant. Then, go to the BOTTOM of the article and start typing there. Doing this makes it much easier for your readers to get through your post. They'll have a reminder of the relevant text before your comment, but won't have to re-read the entire article. And if your reply appears on a site before the original article does, they'll get the gist of what you're talking about.
Cite appropriate references.
If you're using facts to support your point, state where they came from. Don't take someone else's ideas and use them as your own. You don't want someone pretending that your ideas are theirs; show them the same respect. For example, much of this FAQ was derived from a post that has been widely disseminated across Usenet. You can find that post by searching for [usenet primer author: snipped-for-privacy@deshaw.com] on Google Groups. [unquote]

I was(I use x-news, actually), for a while, but it got so quiet and lonely on a couple of the groups I visit that I turned off the 'Hard kill' mode. Oh, I also plonk the multi-group-posters, which is another reason it got so quiet.

Hmm......, coarse......., like sandpaper?
Of course.
