![]() ![]() Swapped CPU from stock i3 to i5-2520M I had lying around, which was removed from working machine (during upgrade), same result. Ran memtest, passed, switched memory to few different specimens (both DDR3, and DDR3L), tried both slots, all pass, Windows won't complete install. Switched to legacy mode, and tried installation again, same result. I power-cycled it, Windows installation proceeded, but failed. Screen went blue/purple (same color as normal install background), and it stopped, no disk activity, nothing. I popped in thumbdrive with fresh Windows 8.1 Installation, which proceeded good, until it wanted to restart. I removed the optical drive, carefully removed all the dust, replaced thermal compund under CPU, and put inside SSD I took from my other machine (wiped). It had dead hard drive (clicking), broken DVD (bent motor mounts, I'm told it's some child's work) and was very dusty (clogged fan). No bangs, pretty clean, no spill damage or visible marks of falling. My background: I've worked few years as service guy in computer shop, mostly on desktops, so I at least vaguely know what I'm doing, and I'm very carefull when handling hardware.Ĭomputer's background: I recieved used HP 4330s after my deceased family member. I'm banging my head on the wall with this case, can't figure, how to proceed.
