is my cpu dead?

[llboss]

I'm building my AMD 1.4 box right now. I also use vapochill. I have Installed basic things such as mountng mobo with cpu and memory on it and installing vapochill cooling cpu-kit. Then, i also installed graphic card.
I turned on my pc and power was on but I got nothing on the screen. Shouldn't I get BIOS screen?
When i installed vapochill cpu-kit, I think I gave a bit hard pressure on the cpu. Is my cpu dead? How do i conform it if my cpu is dead? The fan near the cpu is running.
I really need help.
My mobo is asus av7 133
ane memory is kingmax pc150 x 2
thank you

Has any of your friends got a AMD system try the CPU in there mobo, or most local shops will do this for a small fee

you may also want to check all your cables and make sure they are thight and just look over your installation again making sure everything is properly installed

You could also try removing everything but 1 stick of ram, CPU & hsf, and video card. Try to boot if you get any beeps record them they mean something (long and shorts).
You may try to reset the bios also (see your manual under the mysterious heading 'Forgot the password'.)
