Intel Core i5 750 Processor Problem

[nikdevid]

I just got an Intel core 2 duo processor with 3 GHz cores, and i believe the model number is i5 750. Everything was fine until about 4 days ago, all of a sudden it started taking forever to upload files. Now the problem my computer get freeze up during startup. Can any one tell me that why does i'm having Intel Core i5 750 Processor problem? I have another processor, but don't know if it would be compatible with my motherboard, or would I just be better off changing the processor and the motherboard? What i need to do in order to resolve the above issue? Kindly help me to get rid of the above problem. Thanks.

Sounds more like a virus

It could be Malware but I honestly doubt it. I also very much doubt it has anything to do with your processor at all. You could be having a hard drive failure, in which it has trouble accessing the information so it can freeze on startup or have trouble writing information so taking forever to upload any files. It's really impossible to tell without more information on your end as that was pretty vague but I would not go about replacing the processor right now because you could break more shit than it would be worth it.

I would bet my paycheck it is not your processor.

If you run windows vista or later try running a performance check. It can tell you what components of your computer are in good health.

this has Hard Drive written all over it.

Call the person that installed your new processor and get them to help you in person. Until that time, don't touch anything. ;)

I agree with this. And if you do touch the computer, the reason better be to get the phone number to the guy who put the CPU in, lol. :>

It could be a harddrive issue. Have you defragged yet? Is there a clicking noise coming from your desktop? Have you run an antivirus, malware, and spyware program to see if anything is cluttering your computer? Do you have flash installed but no addons to remove flash from sites (some sites)?

Download Everest (www.lavalys.com) and tell me what your temps are for your HDD(s) and your core(s). Be sure to also tell me the temps on your motherboard as well.

BTW, if you have an i5. That means it's quad core. I don't believe it includes hyper threading on it. Do this for for me as well: Go into Start -> Run -> msconfig -> Boot -> Advanced Options -> in the Number of Processors field, put in 4 (or however many you have), and in the Memory field, put the maximum amount of memory.


For your harddrive:

Check to ensure the power cable is properly connected to the drive.
Check to be sure the data cable is properly connected to the drive.
If it is an IDE drive, ensure the ribbon cable is aligned properly. Red edge of the cable is aligned with Pin 1 of the connector on the drive. Pin 1 is closest to the power plug, typically.
Master/slave assignment is correctly set if this is an IDE drive.


If that's okay, do this:

My Computer -> Harddrive (how many harddrives do you use? Partitions?) -> Right click on the harddrive -> Properties -> Tools -> Error Check -> Schedule an error check and hit yes/ok. -> Reboot your computer

After you reboot your computer, it will go through a number of diagnostics for your harddrive.


If you don't want to do that, you can also do it via command prompt (Run -> cmd)

In the command prompt, type chkdsk or chkdsk C: followed by. If you want check disk to scan a drive other than the C: drive, then substitute the drive letter C: after chkdsk to the drive letter that you want.
EX: chkdsk E:

Type this in: chkdsk /f or chkdsk C: /f
The most common command is chkdsk /f or chkdsk C: /f

A) /f = The /f switch is the most common of the chkdsk switches. It tells chkdsk to try and fix any errors it finds. EX Type: chkdsk /f or chkdsk C: /f

NOTE: Answer Y when chkdsk asks you if you want to check the drive next time Windows boots (restarts).

Ever solve this? I did read somewhere that some of the early 1156 boards had socket pin problems. Which would cause the boards/cpu's to damage themselves - most noticeable when over clocking but the sockets didn't line up properly with the chips this maybe your problem. LoL just realized that it was a bot :(
