Ok so after talking to you guys i thought i should cleabn my sk7 heatsink as my temps have been rising recenlty.
I was very dirty i was so shocked.
So i got everything cleaned up cleaned the3 cpu and put some new artic silver 3 back on.
Now when i turn the pc on the cdroms spin up normal but i have no video and the hard drive and power light just stay on.
I have tried remounted abd cleaned everything again.
I am starting to wonder if maybe i crushed my cpu?
I took the fan off the heatsink and after a few seconds i can feel heat from thr heatsink so the cpu is gettinh hot so not sure if it is ok or not.
I do not have a spare cpu i gave it away LOL.
I have reset the cmos battery closed and open did not help. I have taken out my 3 ram and stuck back in and tried running the ram in different configs.
I do not know what to do i have tried everything.
If you guys have any ideas it would be great otherwise i will have to buy a new motherboard and cpu pay day.
I have another rubbish motherboard i may bre able to joyrig a setup out on the table i have a spre cdrom and hdd just to see if i can maybe test the cpu.
my setup is in my sig i will get a delux asus board next time if i have to get one.Also if i have to get another cpu should i buy the same one good overclocker ot go with a 2500 barton what you think.
Thanks guys.
