Barton 2500 @ Stock
Twin Mos 256 400DDR
G4 Ti 4000 (or summat)
Aero 7+ - standard grease
Took my HSF off, wanted to see if I'd drop a few degrees, so I turned it around... greased the baby back up (super think layer) turned the comp on = Went off after a few seconds.
So I new it was over heating, I turned the HSF around (back to orginal postiton, re-greased, - turned on, went to BIOS - 96 degrees C. TURNED IT OFF
I had not cliped the HSF correctly. I took it off, re-greased etc.. made sure it was all ok... turned it on
BLANK SCREEN. Done everything again, BLANK SCREEN (no beeps).
Took out the memory, and then turned it on, BEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEP.
So I new it wasn't a mem problem, put that back in, reset CMOS. - Stick blank screen, (no beeps).
Took out the CPU all together = Blank screen... (no beeps)
Have I blown my barton 2500??
