I have a Core 2 Quad Q6600 here. I think it may be faulty or damaged. I don't see anything physically wrong with it, but last time i tried to use it it gave me an error code. When I googled the code, answers get me a general idea: the CPU was faulty.
Now, what i want to do is test this CPU in a computer that supports a quad core CPU (and i have said computer). Now, if it actually faulty/damaged, would it cause damage to the other components of the computer? like RAM or mobo? Although the computer was cheap, i don't want it to be a waste of money.

it shouldnt do to it being a problem with the CPU and nothing else. also when did u get the CPU and have u done any overclocking on it of any sort?

i bought it second hand at least a year ago so i have no idea what the guy did with it. That's why i'm asking if a faulty/damaged CPU is going to do any harm to other components.

It is very unlikely that the CPU is faulty. It's actually more possible that the motherboard is not compatible with it.
