I did pull the fan off the cpu to see if it got hot and it did - very hot.
Does this lead us to any further conclusions? Is it the motherboard or the processor?
I called Intel and they were reluctant to blame the processor and suggested I try it in a different board, or try another processor in my board. Unfortunately, I don't have any other boards or processors that match up. My old computer can't handle this 3.0Ghz processor and my new computer doesn't support the 1.3Ghz processor in that computer.
The motherboard manufacturer says it could take 3-4 weeks for them to evaluate whether it is the motherboard or not and if so to repair or replace it.
Maybe I'll prevail upon Intel to replace the processor and hope that they will do so.
IF it is the motherboard and Intel replaces the processor, is there any chance the motherboard could damage the new processor?
Anyway, lots of questions with no clear answers!!
