Was the waterblock mounted solidly. If it didnt make contact that might have happened- Also, it could have been dying anyways or have been irreversably damaged before. I once crushed the core of a tbird1.4. It booted once and crashes. It never worked after that. Sorry bout that- having fried a cpu i know how annoying that can be.

sounds like he didnt hook the wb back on correctly. since he had the tec on it also would have had a coldplate. this woulda coused him to need to adjust it to make contact since the plate was now gone.
yeh it sounds like its in AMD heaven.

The cpu fried therefore it overheated therefore it wasnt getting cooled properly. Either it wasnt seated properly or it malfunctioned
