    Ok iv bought a second hand AMD Athlon 64 x2 4200, with a Thermaltake tr2 r1 heatsink.
    I installed it and it instantly started overheating.
    I havnt gone past the bios because I was checking temperatures, it goes from 25'-55'c in 2 mins :eek:
    I used thermal paste and checked all the fans are working.
    I reset my bios just incase there were any voltage problems.
    I tried my original heatsink but the temperature continued to rise.
    I put in my original cpu and it worked perfect.
    Any ideas?
    Do you think the cpu is fu*ked?
    :confused:
