Okay. I tried unlocking my XP 1900 yesterday night. First I put the glue in, and connected bridges. I went into bios and tried to change multipliers... no working for me, it would only let me choose 1200mhz, instead of my regular 1600. A little more work, I clean it off and do it again, now, I hit power, and it has the sound of loading, but there is no *beep* "you are at the screen where you can hit delete and go into bios" I let it run, the monitor stays blank and i can hear the Hd loading up... Nothing happens. Did I fry CPU!? WHA! Could IT be my MB?! HELP. I'm ordering an XP 2200 today, if I can't figure it out. And HOT DAMN my backup Dell SUCKS.

clean off all the defogger paint of conductive compund you used to connect the bridges and see if your cpu still works. Usually that's all it takes. A bad unlock will sometimes cause a no post.
Hopefully that's what happened w/ your cpu and it still works.

already did that. No change. Fried? I already ordered a new XP 2200. If a little bit of arctic silver got on end of cpu and got into cpu holder, how to get it out?

Try your CPU in a different system and see if it'll work.
