I just received my WC'ing parts in the mail and had set them up, as part of the process for getting it setup, I was cleaning the excess thermal that spilled out when I installed the CPU the first time.
While I was cleaning the excess thermal I accidentally dragged a small tissue over the pins in the socket. I tried my best to correct them, and I thought I had corrected them, as the computer booted up normally and the chip was detected just fine. The problem I have is that the computer reboots when it just decides to. Sometimes it reboots after it gets past the JMicron hard drive detection, sometimes it reboots after 5 seconds, sometimes it reboots as vista is loading at the boot screen, and sometimes it reboots after 5 or 10 mins when vista is running. I hope its not the chip, but I suspect it may just be a problem with the seating on the P5K-E where the processor sits. I have electronic kits/tools as I am an engineering student, so I can probably fix, but I was pretty sure I had fixed the bent pins. Anyone have any thoughts ?
