So after all this trouble it was the CPU that was the issue, but now here is an even bigger problem I need some help on.

I went through AMD to get the RMA process done. So I filled out all the information. I got green light emails so I got ready to send out the pacakage. I went UPS after they allowed the RMA heres the email. And I mailed it to this location, the location listed on the email: c/o ModusLink
RMA# 2000167488
10990 NW 92nd Terrace
Miami, FL 33178
USA
I've RMA'd several things so I didn't think two times about it, but I haven't gotten an email back... UPS said they delivered it on Thursday. In this email below they said they would email me when they get it. I looked it up and it's the location of a warehouse/wood company.. So I think I mailed it to the wrong spot, but why would AMD have that address on their email? Can anyone help me :(

If UPS delivered it to the address you gave them from the email, then it's there. You can check with UPS to see what address it went to. You need to be patient too. this can take a week or more. I RMA'd a CPU fan to AMD and it took about a week or so, I'm trying to recall but I think they were late in a reply because it was already approved and shipped before they gave me any notice. When I did get my fan....it was in a box with a CPU and heatsink too! something got screwed up but I ain't going to complain
 
Yea it's scary because I looked up the address and it's a wood processing plant or something. So I was worried that it wasn't the right address. Secondly I guess they're not emailing me for a similar reason, i'm just tired of using the laptop i'm on.

I hope it comes soon, but I guess your post helps put me at ease :p
