Hi,
I'm looking for a bit of advice if possible please. I have bought a cheap PC, with the intention of streaming old games with an Elgato.
The PC was working fine when it arrived, albeit slow. The PC is a HP Compaq 8200 Tower PC with a CPU i3-2120 @3.3Ghz.
I've added a few bits of my own over the past few days, 2x8gb RAM, a USB 3.0 expansion card, extra SSD. Everything worked fine, but again, slow.
I bought a new CPU in an attempt to speed things up. An Intel® Core™ i7-3770K 3.5GHz, correct socket type etc. This arrived today and I have swapped the new CPU in.
The computer then wouldn't start. It would turn on, fans would run for 20 seconds, shut off, then 20 seconds later start again. This would continue until I pulled the power out. I then tried to put the CPU in but the same issue was occurring. I've also removed the RAM and put in the original 2x4gb back in.
I've read online about clearing the CMOS, so I took out the battery for a few minutes and plugged it back in and the PC seemed to run better. It now runs continuously, but nothing is being displayed. The fans are running quite fast and power is constant, but no display. The same now happens with either CPU in, old and new.
Any advice would be great appreciated!
Here are some pictures of the set up also:
