Can a MOBO damage a CPU? - OOPS This is a corrected post!
I have a MOBO and AMD (socket A) CPU that stopped working. Dead as a
doornail - no beeps-no raster. I bought a new AMD Athlon (socket A) and am afraid to try it in the MOBO, fearing that the MOBO might damage the new CPU. Should I worry about that? Thanks |

The usual reason for a motherboard to kill a CPU is too high a voltage. Measure the CPU voltage with a good digital voltmeter. wrote: I have a MOBO and AMD (socket A) CPU that stopped working.
