Okay well I mentioned my problem in a post, but rather than hijack another thread...
http://forums.evga.com/fb.ashx?m=1543329 My post in said thread.
So to answer the CPU question Mad...
As for type of CPU, I'll type what my brother wrote down for me, E8500 Intel, FSB - 1333MHZ, socket LGA775, EO/CO = stepping.
And RAM is DDR2, I heard bro at one point say one stick is bad though.
The problem is, It blue screens right after the windows starting screen. My bro tried different drives the WD drive that uses an IDE cable, SATA drives, he tried all the drives in the other computer, he re-TIM'ed twice. That's what I can remember of my brother saying he tried between his grumbling and swearing.
I had my brother switch cases so everything wasn't squished mainly the cables as all was in my Tt case at first, I put on the OS fine it was the drive with the IDE cable and it was at the point where security and other programs needed putting back on. Then we decide to do the right thing and transfer all to the HAF 922, though bro decided in doing this he'd go to the effort to use the SATA drives and he was going to raid them.
When he had all the hardware transferred over though he pressed the power switch and the thing I noticed was it powered up for a second and died, I'm hoping that wasn't a surge that screwed something up, he noticed it too. Then after that the above started happening.
That's the best I can explain from what I've heard my brother saying as he grumbled or what he told me. As I said I'm a noob. It's also curretly 3am and my rig is in another room I think in parts. But my brother leaves today he's moving cross country, So I'm on my own other than Mad and all you great guys here.
