What Processor?
You can ONLY use an early P4 that had used a 400 MHz FSB. Intel has not
manufactured any of those for several years. You'll have to try to find a
used one on eBay or somewhere.

CPU's almost NEVER fail unless they are really overclocked. Most likely the
motherboard has failed. They routinely fail.
