Listen to this story that toook place 5 minutes ago. ok
So, I am sitting there with my case trying to get this slk-800 heatsink on my A7N8X with my precious 2100 TBRED B under it. I hit the mother board with a screw driver as hard as I could maybe 6 times, then I slice my finger totally open across my heatsink and I got blood on my motherboard, adds a nice effect btw. So then I finally get the heatsink on the socket (wow I have never ever applied so much presure to any heatsink) and mount my tornado on. I press the power button and there is no videosignal but my speaker beeps indicating it passed all the tests. Right when it looked like the monitory was coming on the computer shuts off. At that point I thought, well, there gos my 2100+. So I try it again after making sure it was touching the diode good. Same thing.... So then, I take off the slk-800 and put back on my Volcano 7+ and it boots fine. The only thing I can really think of is that my C.O.P Protection is shutting off my comp. I made sure it was touching the diode, so I guess I will be putting this heatsink back in the box. Oh also, I didnt use the adhesive pads it came with because I do not know what they are for since my heatsink didnt come with a manual of any kind, so I had to figure this all out on my own.
So thats my craaazy story, hope u enjoyed.
