Tested new chip and...

Same fucking fail. Dammit. I was 90% sure it was the chip (as weird as it was). Now testing and retesting power supply and motherboard. My tech luck drought... continues.

A computer motherboard lays on a desk, rear panel facing camera. Power and cooling tubes snake back to the enclosure on the left. A pair of magnifying glasses lay abandoned next to them.
