Thread: Faulty processor

So I have a fairly old computer (2.8 GHz processor, Pentium 4, 1.256 Ram, Windows XP Home SP2) ..Some time ago I had problems with my processor to get, which means that the PC is started up and then heard a beep. I learned from another forum at the time that the processor overheated and should I replace the thermal compound. I have made then.

Since I was unfortunately a list I did not know how I roll out, etc., and when installing I get the cut in there xD So when I installed some "quest" so these little pieces of metal bent purely go into the motherboard. Until now, the no problem, but now no longer starts up the PC and it will sound a continuous beep. I think that is the of Processor. Is that correct? and how and with what I can replace the chip?

welcome to the forum

yes, your processor is broken. was not just clever of you to use the processor with bent pins on
whom only a pins are bent you can try using a pointed tool to straighten again. purchased if you should look for a used Pentium 4 times
