[warehouse peon]

I am facing very strange problem. Whenever I am starting my system I am getting the message "SYSTEM FAILED CPU TEST". I haven't done any wrong installation neither I installed anything recently. I am not able to use my system now. I am using the Windows XP as operating system. Here is my system information :
AMD 64 3200+ Socket 939 CPU
2 Internal HDD
1 GB RAM.
450W PS.
Please help me ...!!!

Are you using the Graphic Card.?? If you are using the graphic card then try to upgrade your Power Supply Unit. Many times the error comes when you install the Graphic Card as that is not getting the enough power. So try to upgrade the PSU accordingly and your problem can be solved.

Many times the error System Failed CPU Test comes when your processor gets more hot than the normal temperature. So I would like to suggest you to clean out the entire interior of the box. You can remove the Video Card from the slot, clean that slot and then plug the card properly. Also try to remove the CPU cooling fan and clean blew out the Heat Sink. Many times the fan doesn't work properly and the processor is not cooled generating this error. So clean the fan too. Hope this can help you.

Have you tried to reset the CMOS battery.?? I know that there is nothing to do with the CMOS because when your CMOS is weak it displays that message "CMOS failed" on the screen. But you can give a try. Put another CMOS battery. Also try the another CPU in your board. by doing this will can come to know the exact problem.

I was facing the similar problem but it got solved and now I don't have any CPU problems even my system is on for a long time. I had done the following things with my system. Since I don't know which one worked for me I am describing the whole thing :

• First I removed the Mother Board from the tray, cleaned it and put that back again.
• Then I removed everything including RAM, CPU (with fan), etc. I cleaned every part and then fixed all properly.
• Then I reset the CMOS.

Hope that doing this your problem will also get solved.

For better checking the things try to mount your CPU on another board. And also try to use another CPU in your board. By doing this you can come to know that this error is causing because of board or the CPU. The error System Failed CPU Test is generated when your mother board or CPU is dead (unfortunately) So doing the steps will let you know where the problem is residing.
