The fan fixed the problem…until I use my computer in something like a marathon. So, believing this to be some sort of overheating issue, I purchased a new, after market CPU fan. I was able to reseat the CPU fan and the computer could get past startup but would often lockup while trying to start some game, the primary function of my computer (Team Fortress 2, Starcraft 2 beta, Global Agenda, etc.). This issue never occurred on my computer prior to this processor.Īt first the issue played out like this: After physically installing the processor I would boot up my computer and my computer would often proceed to completely lock up (zero system response to anything, restart required, screen stays frozen on whatever was being displayed at that moment) on start-up while opening several programs (Symantec Antivirus, Spybot Search and Destroy, etc.). A strange issue has arisen with my computer after purchasing and installing an Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 Yorkfield 2.5GHz.
