i recently heard on another forum (MSI support forum) that if thermal paste got on the connectors on either the CPU connectors or in the actual socket on the mobo then your mobo will think there is either no CPU or it is damaged.
i was wondering if there was anybody who could either correct or confirm this as it has me worried.
also if there is anyone with a green AMD Athlon 2500+ Barton and an MSI K7N2G ILSR nForce2 mobo with the 1.0 has upgraded from 1.0 to 1.1 upwards, please reply and tell me of any problems and anything else worth a mentioning.
any replies will be well recieved...
P.S. any methods of cleaning the thermal paste out of the socket and cpu connectors will also be nice.

u know who u are
) well our findings were not gr8. I brought my trusty 1.8 Tbred armed with my X-dream cooler content on flashing his mobo since it should boot up with my cpu init. His revision of bios didn't support his new Barton so i thought that was the reason it wasn't turning in (would this really happen).
