Helllllllppppppppppp!!! Ok I am a novice pc modder, I have replaced fans graphics cards and RAM etc, so I am not a total pc beginnner Last week I decided to replace the stock AMD fan on my 64bit processor. I took anti-static precautions with a wrist band and properly earthed myself. When I took out the AMD heatsink the processor came out stuck to the back of it. No matter I thought cleaned it up and went to put it back in; I then noticed some of the pins were bent. I straightened them up and put the CPU back in with the new arctic cooler 64tc, MX-1 thermal paste, heatsink and and fan on top of it.... I booted the pc up and nothing. No beeps no post nothing. The monitors stayed on stand by. Tried using the onboard gpu but still no display. Also tried a different monitor but still nothing. :swear: I tried a new CPU in it, but still nothing I have checked all the cable for hard drive, etc and they are all seated correctly....I have also reset the bios by popping out the battery. Is it likely that my mobo is dead, for whatever reason? I really don't want to have to change it unless I really have to!!! I would really like some help peeps!! Thanks a lot, my specs are below... foxconn(winfast)k8s760mg motherboard Athlon AMD 64bit 3000+ 512mb cache (Newcastle) skt 754 1 x Matrix pc3200 ddr400 RAM Maxtor 120gb Hard Drive Antec 400W Power Supply Windows XP Home ATI Radeon 9600XT with Arctic Cooling
Wow man, looks like you screwed the CPU :sick: . You said you tried another processor and still nothing. May be in the process you also took the MOBO along with the 64. I hope I'm wrong, but you might have to change both.
try using a different mobo...u hav tried a different cpu so i guess your mobo maybe damaged...hope im wrong...
you could have crapped out your socket. Can you post a clear, close up pic of your motherboard socket and cpu?
Check your connections. RAM, PSU, etc. and make sure they're secure. Secondly, are any fans spinning or even spin up?
hey u said u booted up the pc and NOTHING...seems like a PSU problem to me..is the PSU - power supply unit fan spinning??check that out first..
im new to this so be warned i cud be wrong but i had a problem with my monitor regarding staying on standby as i was trying to overclock my cpu. i know now not to mess with things i dont know much about lol. i cleared cmos and all was well but as i said im a newbie so be careful
