I had been running a desktop with Asus A7M266, AMD Athlon 1.4GHz and

downs of the desktop saying, " A problem has been detected and windows
has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

I replaced the motherboard with PCchips M848A. The problem persists.
After spending some time to figure out the cause of the problem, I
concluded that the CPU is the culprit. Is there any program I can use
to test it?

Do damaged CPUs cause problems like mine?

How could the computer display the error message without a functioning
CPU?

I thought the CPU was partially damaged.

Did you replace the CPU fan? You mentioned "CPU fans," as if your CPU
had more than one, but I've never seen a decently built CPU cooler with
more than one fan.

I am sorry that "fans" was a typo. I have only one CPU fan.

You also didn't mention anything about your power supply.

I have a brand-new Antec Power Supply.
