Re: Asus Athlon XP 2400+ cpu... burned 160F ... burned?

yea I didn't think 160F is not too hot... I have 4-5 big blue stripes
running down the monitor and some speckles in between the stripes, all
uniform. When booting up, pieces of the words in BIOS are colored
different slightly and its very noticeable when in windows, I reseated
my video card but I didn't wiggle the monitor cable around, I bet it
was that simple...ha, I just went ahead and bought an AthlonXP3000+ for
$120, but all I really need is a new fan, maybe my cpu is fine and I
just wasted money, but when my cpu is not working i'll do whatever to
make it work again.

I never had trouble with my monitor before, I REALLY hope its not the
video card, its a 9800pro and that would cost me. It'll be about 5 til
I can play around with it a bit.
