All pins are intact, I don't see anything missing, broken or bent. Sadly, the proc does gets seated without any issue, into the AM2 socket. You're right. Not know what's going on, is frustrating :) If this is still alive and can work, great... otherwise, my next fear is hopefully the socket...

No I did not. I didn't have it. Bummer ??!! But on the sequence of events - the very 1st time or first few times, when the Processor was still in tact with the heat sink, all I did was, remove ( HSF + Proc ), Clean and put it back on - it stopped right from there...

On pics, I'm not sure how I can attach them. Will figure it out and upload them

Nxil, >> If I am reading this description correctly, it sounds like you unlatched fan and heatsink, and when you pulled it off, the fan, heatsink, and CPU all came out together? Yes, that's correct. I couldn't get the Heat Sink and Fan( which are joined together ) alone, leaving the CPU in...

One question out of ignorance - suspecting a dead CPU, do I need a function CPU to even see BIOS messages ?

I found instruction as how I could reset the CMOS, tried that too, but nothing happens. When ever I power up the PC, the fans swing and that's about it. Any pointers ? Thanks

Hi, I've ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe AM2 board and AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor. I thought I'd clean up processor and surrounding areas, took the heat sink and the fan, which are adjoined by releasing the latch on the side and cleaned it up and now it'd not work. I can't even get to my BIOS. When...

Hi, I've a ATI Radeon X1600 Pro today and I've been trying different options to get to use my HDTV ( Panasonic HDTV Plasma ) as an extended or 2nd monitor. I tried to get a passive splitter to split the DVI signal and that didn't work. Powered splitter is an option I am researching. But...

WD-40 did the trick, atleast for now... After opening and cleaning it still was making noice, but after opening the fan case and spraying WD-40, it a lot better now... Thanks !

Buying a new card is certainly a solution, but I like the card I've, images are crisp, so am looking for solution to fix this, if nothing works sure I shall get a better one... My card is http://www.amazon.com/Radeon-X...deo-Card/dp/B000ENORJI]this[/url]...

Hi, I've an ATI X1600 PRO PCIE 512MB card. While I've a great Antec case, this card's screatching sound is unbearable. I cleaned the card, surrounding etc. but no use. What options do I've ? VGA Cooling ? If so, what would you recommend me to buy ? Thanks.
