Would anyone class these as the symptoms of a faulty CPU ?
Personally I don't think these symptoms match that of a faulty CPU.when I did some tests on this CPU the outcome was dissappointing.
Whilst the tests confirmed the CPU speed as described, within industry standards any way, very little else was great.
The Central Reg, Calc, math performance all showed poor results.
You will have noticed that using this CPU causes a computer to hang after about 20 mins of use and leaves the video picture totally frozen.
