Hi. Few days ago, I got my new RMA'd cpu from newegg. My first thought, CPU looks the same as the old one I RMA'd to newegg. The CPU has rough lines on the 4sides. They might be burnt marks but they don't look burnt to me. I installed it to my computer, sadly the AMD fan doesn't work. I went back to my old fan and apply some of my artic cooling mx-4 thermal paste. Then I ran prime95 blend test for about 6hours. No erros were found. The CPU temp was about 55C-58C. I was quite happy with that. After that, I ran prime95 small FTTs test for 3hours and I got no errors. Still pretty happy. Then the next day...I turned on my computer and keep getting BSOD. I knew it's my CPU's fault. I look at the core's temp before it gets BSOD. It was somewhere between 24C-30C. I took off my heatsink and reapply thermal paste. Everything went back to normal. Did I misplace the heatsink or does this CPU have major instability problems? Does my motherboard hates the revision of the AMD athlon ii x3 series? Will this problem occur in the next 2days? I'm currently running prime95 Large FTTs for about 20minutes now, no errors so far...
I have a M2N-78(violet) motherboard, HP pavilion case, a coolmaster fan(maybe worth $9?),6GB of DDR2 RAM,450PSU and a 500gb WD HDD.I used to have an AMD athlon II x4 620 as my CPU.
