After installing a new CPU cooler (zerotherm nirvana) in my rig today, i played around with some overclocking and it booted into windows fine, but I noticed the CPU getting hot. During a load test, it got up to 60*C, so i shut down immediately and pulled the cooler off to reapply the thermal paste.
After reinstalling and reconnecting everything, I plugged it back in, hit the power, and got nothing. All the case fans would spin, the GFX card fan would spin (but only at full speed -- it never slowed down like normal), and the Nirvana's fan was spinning. The HDD felt like it was spinning, but I wasn't quite sure.
Anyway, my USB keyboard and mouse weren't getting signal, nor was my monitor. I unplugged everything several times and have no clue what's going on. I'm going to try swapping mobos tonight to see if I screwed something up somehow. CMOS is currently clearing while I'm at work.
Any advice?
