You have assembled the system incorrectly. Some cable is disconnected, upside down, or plugged into the wrong pins. Some component (memory, CPU, video card, anything else) is not properly seated in its slot. Some motherboard switches are not properly configured for your hardware. Some component is not compatible with the rest of the system.
Wrong! Everything's in correct order.

You inadvertently damaged some component while assembling the computer. Something was zapped by static electricity. A pin was bent or broken by forcing a misaligned connection. A PCB was cracked when it was dropped, crushed or bent.
Totally assumption. Nothing's bent or broken. Nothing's damaged. Nothing was dropped, crashed or bent.

You don't know how to properly assemble and test a computer system. Therefore you don't know what to expect, nor do you understand how to explain what you are experiencing.
Totally assumption again.
You can't explain crap. Just because I explained EXPLICITLY what had happened, you wanted to twist all my words around.

You cannot just ASSUME! Just because you can't do anything to help that doesn't mean I don't know what I'm doing.
If you can't help, then don't post anything.

With some outside / offline help, and doing some testing myself, my assumption and deduction and what others have told me offline turned out to be correct.

It doesn't happen very often, but sometimes new electronic parts will be shipped bad and/or go out quickly shortly after being installed. At one time was an electronics technician and that was the case in the first circuit board I ever troubleshot. After installing new part, Spent a whole week checking everything else out because as in my own words "That can't be the problem, It's a brand new part!" Don't just assume that just because something is new that it can't be the problem.
Never mind Ignore all this I see where you have changed motherboards already.

Have you try changing memory cards? I don't see anywhere you mentioning changing memory cards.

Please read all of my posts again:
In my first few posts, it's with the old motherboard, then I replaced it later on with a new motherboard to see if it'll solve the problem. Still have the same problem.
Now let's move to next question.
New Mobo;
Is it original install as to specs of old mobo & is new mobo the same as the old?

What mobo did you have & what is replacement.

Think possibly some of the fault lies in your inabilities to explain or define the problems to either LQ members or Indian computer reps? Accent has nothing to do with good representation. Get your prejudice out of the situation.
People's inabilities to read and or understanding English is NOT my problem!
Get your prejudice out of this situation first!!!

We have been extracting information from you in bits. Ever think the problem with communication is your abilities to describe fully the problem set. Your problem has been a moving target from the onset. Prejudice was brought up by me for your actions/words about Indian reps. Clearly there were prejudices by you.

I would unsubscribe from this thread but as a mod I can not.

So my suggestion to you is to settle down. Please let us get this problem resolved. You are making too many assumptions and not providing a clear picture to the forum members that are trying to help you.

If you do not change manners then I will close this thread since it's getting out of hand.

Windows corrupted my Linux hard drive and burnt out my CPU! That's what's been happening. Now Windows works, but I really wanted Linux to work. Guess I have to waste money to get a new HDD for Linux due to Microsoft's crappy OS corrupting everything.

People just assume EVEN when everything's been explained multiple times. As I read from online suggestions, I continually replaced everything that could be a reasonable cause from various online forums, and yet no one was able to help me.

I'm not making any assumptions, but on the contrary, most people who claim to be helping me, are those who's been making assumptions.
I've provided a very clear picture. I guess if your head is in the clouds, you can't help others?!

@trien27
Everyone in this forum is here to assist you & there are specifc questions asked as we are not able to actually know without the physical hardware in front of us. Sometimes even we ourselves come to the forum for assistance, but even we can't get assistance if we can't explain exactly:
What type of hardware.
what the problem that we are experiencing is.
Most of all if ask a question answering it.
After some of the prerequisites are met someone can say I experienced that issue, try this, as this is how I solved it.
Or 1 of the guru's who just want to help will ask you to run a test and come up with a solution.
Also keep in mind unlike your support center none of the people here are getting paid, but, they can say I helped someone today.
Now if you need assitance we're still here.

If you continue to post absurd things like the above I will close this thread.

Unless M$ actually controlled the CPU fan and corrupted the Gnu/Linux by chance. There is no way the CPU was burnt because of a software filesystem corruption done by M$ to a Gnu/Linux. If the filesystem was corrupt then you would be given choices to repair.

Your posts for this thread have been all over the place. No continuity, you say one thing then turn around an contradict your self. Either start communicating with members in a manner that will allow us to solve your issues or this thread will be closed.

You should read the whole thread for understanding. Hopefully you will see why we are not able to help. You do make assumptions and change facts all the time to fit the situation at the moment of that post. So please try to provide the information holistically so we can get this solved.

I just picked up dell latitude
I'm wondering if this is the problem you experienced.
Pressed powerbutton
bios bootsplash appears
machine shutsdown.

Anyway that's what I'm experiencing.
