Do I have a damaged CPU?
I had been running a desktop with Asus A7M266, AMD Athlon 1.4GHz and
750 MB, 266Mhz DDR memory chips when I noticed the CPU fans intermittently malfunctioning. Then I started getting frequent shut downs of the desktop saying, " A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. PAGE_FULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA......" I replaced the motherboard with PCchips M848A. The problem persists. After spending some time to figure out the cause of the problem, I concluded that the CPU is the culprit. Is there any program I can use to test it? Do damaged CPUs cause problems like mine? |

You mentioned "CPU fans," as if your CPU had more than one, but I've never seen a decently built CPU cooler with more than one fan. You also didn't mention anything about your power supply. |

Try running it with one stick of memory in it. although as the other poster says, I would suspect the power supply. It's very unlikely to be the CPU and unfortunately, having to put your bits in a PC Chips mobo isn't going to help diagnosing the problem any. SteveH |

Do I have a damaged CPU?
Hello,
What you describe sounds a lot like a problem with Winodows. You mention the CPU "fans" are "intermittently malfunctioning" could you actually describe what is wrong with them? The only two hardware problems that cause the problems you describe a 1. Bad RAM 2. Dieing harddisk You can do a disk check with both ticks checked (basically a surface scan) and see if it finds and bad sectors to test if #2 is the case and download a memtest utility to test #1. But short of these unlikely hardware problems, you are looking at a problematic driver or virus / spyware causing instability in your windows installation. If you are certain your CPU has a problem, there is a diagnostic program called HotCPU tester, if you get your hands on it, it will help you proove that to yourself, or proove you that something else is a problem... or possibly it will find no problems and you are looking at a program causing instability. baddley je napisal: I had been running a desktop with Asus A7M266, AMD Athlon 1.4GHz and 750 MB, 266Mhz DDR memory chips when I noticed the CPU fans intermittently malfunctioning.

But if your CPU fan is not working properly then an overheating CPU can easily cause the symptom you describe. |

OK 500W antec is good for power requirements of your system, I would
be willing to bet it's the RAM, but an overheating CPU can "forget" to mark entries in RAM as paged out so it hits it, tries a PF, no entry CRASH Check RAM, HD, CPU And get rid of the PC_Chips mobo...lol |
