I have a board here (Asus P5A, I have a thread running about it not working) with which I've finally narrowed the issue down to the socket. If I press my thumb down on the bottom right corner of the CPU, it will post and start (but freeze if i let go). This happens with any CPU I try in it.
I'm thinking maybe there are some dirty contacts in the socket, but not sure how to go about cleaning it out.
What would you guys suggest? A bottle of isopropyl and a tooth brush? or should I order some contact cleaner? I'm not sure what a good choice is for the socket.
Sup. I like computers. Are you a computer?
