Sunday I attempted to upgrade my "families" PC only to determine that the CPU I installed didn't work. I spent a lot of time taking that whole thing apart but I guess things happen. Static electricity would indeed destroy a CPU, but I used precautions and I know I didn't shock it. It was quickly approved for RMA return by Newegg.com & UPS picked it up today for replacement. I just have to wait until a new one arrives.
Till Then,
