ok im running xp1600 on an asus a7v-133 with 768 mb of ram, well anyway the chip was water cooled and never got above 40 C. When i did a reboot it wouldn't start after it had been running for 8 hours it just stopped after a reboot. instead of booting it starts up and then beeps once and then shut off. so i cleared the cmos by taking the battery out for 5 minutes and still it would just boot then beep and then shut off. so i took out the cpu and then tried to boot it up and it made like a song of beeps......i have no idea what to do any ideas will help.

What makes you think it is the cpu? It could well be the motherboard...or even psu...
