Well with the full screen logo out of the way if it halts on the booting maybe we can get an idea of where to go from there.

It only happens once in a while, after i restarted that time, it booted to login screen but froze there. If I go grab greese today, how should I take the greese of the heatsink, damp cloth?

The best thing is just dry soft kitchen paper/roll. Carefully just wipe it away. Get some decent thermal paste when you go out to buy it. Something like Arctic Silver 5. You only need a tiny tube. You will need to apply about 3mm in the centre of the chip and then with a slight twisting motion bed the heatsink down onto it.

OKay il try, might be a bit difficult because of that blue plastic platform for the heatsink.

This is not a problem, there is enough room for you to twist the cooler a little bit which is enough to do the job. When you actually clamp the cooler down the pressure will finish spreading the grease.

Good question....now all I need is a good answer  :-\

Really it is now a case of waiting until it does it's boot lockup again and see where it is stalling. Now you can see the boot process as it happens it might give us some idea of what is going on.

Go into Control Panel/System/Advanced System Settings and untick the Automatically restart box and make sure the box for memory dump is ticked.

Had a chat with biggyk and went through all the things that have been tried so far in his efforts to resolve this problem. We decided that it would be best if the CPU is RMA'd so that it can be tested/replaced as part of a process of elimination.

Hopefully we will be able to resolve this issue and a big thank you for biggyk for having the patience to work through this problem.

No thank you to the both of you. Most people just tell me to reinstall OS or to send back the Ram when I already did. Im looking into Fedex charges and sending it out asap.

Yes I think it should be within our powers to award medals to those who particularly have a hard time of it. 8) 8) 8)

I just settled on hitting the [applaud] button for now!

For some reason I could only send by overnight air so I guess in way that great. Hopefully the problems stops there.
