BAD IDEA!!!!

What heatsink made the flash? Video? CPU? mobo?

It poweron without the video card... and keep running, or shut off, or what? POST beeps form the speaker? Mobo/cpu/video, plz too.

my cpu heatsink made the flash, i know bad idea im retarded. . . I can poweron the computer without the videocard and the heatsink fan stopped spinning and then when i shut it off started and stopped as if it had been spinning the whole time, now without the videocard the heatsink fan runs on my cpu for about 5 minutes and i turned it off, also what should i tell the videocard people in order to be able to return it?

Return it? But it was never defective!!! You killed it, you buy another one.

indeed.

1.) test it in anotehr computer. (video. and other parts)
2.) test cpu.
3.) test ram.

If the cpu heatsink made a spark.. then... wow. .. heatsinks shouldnt spark

Do you get any beep codes?!

robbykrackz · Jan 6, 2005

yes, only when the video card is out and its the code that there is no video signal

ok.. 1.) try a different video card.

if it boots, you killed your video card.

Dunno, that sounds like Toasty the Evil Elf coming for the CPU.....
