So I just built my new comp with my new setup and fired it up and when I first turn it on it like turns on for like 3 seconds turns off and then turns it self back on and stays on and eventually will go to the windows setup screen ,,, but before all that it says CPU has been changed or is unworkable,,,, f1 to continue so I continue and then after the setup for windows xp loads and says on the bottom where it says setup is starting windows, when its done loading or whatever it black screens and then blue screens with like a huge error code and then I just have to turn it off, ive cleared my cmos checked my connection checked my cpu, it reads the cpu and everything, boot sequence is fine I don't know whats wrong,

My current setup is

Core 2 duo 2.13 Ghz
Asus mobo
2gb dual channel corsair ram
512mb vid card,

Plz help!!!!!! I don't want to return any of this nonsense it's a very far drive….
 
yes the fan is on tight ... ive redone it multiple times, what does that have to do with it turning off the cpu is locked down anyway isnt it?
 
Mate, no offence but that was very hard to read. It might make it easier in the future for us to understand the problem if you set out the wording a bit better.

Anyway, try just using 1 stick of ram first, and then try just the other stick. Also try a few different combos in different slots. It doesnt particularly sound like a ram problem, but try to eliminate the possibility of it being the problem.

Otherwise it might actually be the cpu. The motherboard sounds like its working, although it might be faulty, but that cpu error is a bit worrying.

It doesnt sound like the it is the psu or hdd, so that leaves the ram/cpu/motherboard that could be the problem. My guess is the ram or cpu.
 
so the whole ram thing didnt work IT SAYS CPU ERROR! and when i first hit the power button it will start up,,, for about 2 seconds turn off and then turn back on and run.... but will get the error then on post... im so ****ed
