Good luck, hope it turns out to be a minor problem. Anyway, reading, making music and walking is not bad at all  |

If you can afford to try and fix it go with the MB combo proc/fan already installed.  |
I already have the processor I wanted, and I don't think that's the problem, as all three processors I have show the exact same symptom. The new MB is on its way (almost). I think the problem is that I tried the installation with the board installed. This time I'll put it all together before installing the new board. The big problem right now is that I couldn't afford rush shipping, so I'll likely be without a computer for another week.
Now
that's frustrating.
