    Default Changing the CPU of my old comp (not new)

    I got a question. If I would put in a broken CPU in a comp it wouldn't go on right? Does that also mean that my comp will be uhm... dead immediately??


    Reason I'm asking cause I'm doing some changes on my old comp so that my step sister will buy it xD She needs a new comp bad but my old comp is a 1.66GHz or something and I'm putting in a 2.6GHz for her (I will get more money then xD)



    Sorry for the weird question but I'm just using parts of my parents old comp that broke, but most stuff still worked I even used the ram and vid card for awhile xD

    Broken CPU in a MB means no activity at all. U can press the power button but that's as far as u go IMO.

    About changing parts from 1 pc to the other, u must have motherboards that support the parts. From your question I gather you don't know much about hardware... Video cards, as long as they are put in the correct sockets (PCI-E, AGP. PCI), always work (same with HD - IDE in IDE and SATA in MB that have SATA - and drives) but the same cannot be said about RAM and CPU.

    Lol yeah it works The dude probably lied about saying the old comp of my parents won't work anymore xD even last one problem that can be solved though xD I lost the screws to set the Fan at place " and I can't use the other CPU anymore cause It accidently fell out of my hands when the cat was suddenly running past me... Just need to solve that and done xD Till then I'll leave it alone I Guess. Even though I never did it it's better to learn it to do it yourself :3

    CPU fans don't have screws o_O, it usually has screws attached to it or the older ones have a pair of some kind of clippers (i dunno what they're called)
