Make sure you replace the cpu in the socket very carefully so as not to bend any of the pins.

The other thing is - have you recently upgraded - bigger hdd, more memory, added an optical device?

With one memory stick installed, what will happen? Use one stick at a time and try to test it also in different slots.

Remove your ram stick and pull the cmos battery out on the motherboard for about 10 mins. Put everything back in again.
