God, this is a very unlucky incident.
I turned round in my chair and got out, accidentally pushing it backwards into my computer. It was a tiny little knock, but a couple of seconds after it happened my monitor went black and the system shut off, Looked in the window and the heatsink is hanging right off! It was the tiniest little knock as well, unbelievable!
So, could the heatsink being knocked off whilst the computer was on cause the processor to be fried? I'll wait until someone who really knows what they are doing to look at it and reseat the heatsink and see if it works before I do anything.
Can't smell any burning or anything and it shut off pretty quickly (sadly, probably still enough time for the processor to be fried i think), but knowing my luck it's fried.
Anyone know what I should do (other than reseat heatsink and see if it works?) Cheers.
