lol.. ya know the only thing i noticed.. on the new chip there were two bent chip, i don't think i did it.. i just opened it and layed it on the socket and i noticed it wasn't going it.. 2 pins were slightly bent.. so i fixed 'em with my thumb nail and it went it.. but it should still work right?
My mom said she called CompUSA and they said that HP's have to have HP type mobos or something, generic mobos won't work.. so that puts me back to the idea that the mobo was bad to begin with and I need a HP type mobo..
