I meant today as it was past midnight when I posted and it has arrived.
Very Strange problems am having now. The MB is a direct replacment. Exact same model. I've now fitted it and can get to the operating system choice(I duel boot XP and Win7) but as soon as I click on either the PC loops back to the beginning of start-up.(Like its just been powered on)
I can't access windows 7 normally or in safe mode(Loops back to start-up everytime) I can't access Windows XP normally but I can access it under safe mode which I'm currently on now and posting this message.
I can't run any repair - Loops back to start up. Am very confussed. Tried booting one drive or the other alone and same issue. Can't for the life of me understand whats going on. I've read a CPU thats overheated can cause this but I can't be sure.
Got a new CPU arriving next week but for now am stuck. Any ideas ?
Note - In the bios the 12V rail is giving 11.9V and the 3.3V rail is giving 3.2V but this shouldn't be causing these problems I'd assume.
