Ok guys I need some help. I bought a second hand computer with a GA-EP45-DQ6 board and 2x2gb kingston hyperX ddr 2 ram. After a day it started to continually restart itself randomly and crash. I removed one of the sticks of ram and from then it worked for about a week. It would load logo and begin the bios but hang as soon afterwards until it started rebooting itself again. Thinking it was the ram again i tried a different stick of ram from a working computer to no avail. I replaced the graphics card to no avail. I then used the button for clearing the Cmos to no avail.
Being frustrated as i could have i stripped the entire machine down till everything was out of the box and on its own. I replaced the heat paste on the CPU... turned it on and now it doesn't reboot however nothing is displayed on the screen and the CPU fan doesn't seem to work but all of the other fans which are plugged into the motherboard work. I dont have another fan to try tho :( Does anybody have any idea's on what i can do.....help would be very much appreciated
P.S the board has been overclocked but to my knowledge the cpu hasn't. I remember seeing the same set up working perfectly in a different tower but i just seem to have problem after problem since his working changed it for me.
