Hi there,
that day when i am playing torchlight 2(previously no problem playing other games) and the suddenly the screen freeze and so the desktop. Then i will have to force shut down it. After force shut down, i was going to reboot the system, but no beep sound. After i replaced all component, it still doesn't boot. So i gave up and leave it there for like a day. Then the next day, i switch on the pc and it boot up until i reach the desktop. The screen freeze again and then when i reboot(a total of 3 times), 1st time reboot successfully and then it asked me to reboot because of i replace all the hardware, then 2nd reboot stuck at the boot screen, and 3rd time is when i am unable to boot. Any one can help me out? Is that the motherboard dead? Sorry for my bad english.

That's some pretty poor advice from pazdindalal I must say. Poor writing too.

Instead of just impulsively upgrading, without finding out what the problem was,

You're setting yourself up for more failure and ignorance. What if your new core i5 fails too?

Will you then get a Core i7? ...

On another note, it's important to have a balance in your hardware setup.

For example, if you have a GTX Titan (Currently the most high-end GPU as of April 2013)

But you only have an Athlon 2 CPU, then your CPU will be a "bottleneck" for your GPU.

In other words, your CPU will be limiting your GPU's performance, because it's too slow.

Remove your GPU and try booting.
