I got new memory exactly like my old memory and put it into the computer now, but it still won't turn on. The hard drive, memory, and video card work in my other computers and used to work in that one. I took some memory out a bit ago, but might have somehow damaged the cpu. The monitor works, and all the lights on motherboard turns on. The fan turns on, the CD drive spins (or maybe its the hard drive), but the monitor does nothing.

Anyway, i pulled the cpu out and im wondering if it has gone bad. How can I tell? All the other computers I could have access to are AMD.

Thanks.
