Dead AD11 from smoking the AMD 1.333GHz CPU?

[Boomer2]

Anyone care to field a help question?

I am building an AMD 1.333GHz system with an ad11 MB. *Forgot* to reinstall the heat sink at one point and smoked the processor...literally. The replacement CPU arrived; and I set it all up again, including heat sink properly attached. I hit the power button and NADA. The heat sink fan and chipset fan spun a few rotations; but that was it. No POST. No beeps. Nothing.

I don't see any discolorations or damaged parts on the MB. Any advice? Did I fry the MB too?

Thanks for the help. Please shoot me a PM, too, if you don't mind.

It sounds like you've fried some important circuit on the motherboard.
However, if you didn't, you might wanna try clearing the CMOS chip (resetting the motherboard
BIOS to its original state through the appropriate jumper on the motherboard or
through shorting certain contacts...your motherboard's MANUAL SHOULD have
the instructions as to what to do to reset the BIOS).
After doing which try your un-fried CPU WITH THE HEATSINK ON IT.
It SHOULD work, and I mean it MIGHT or MIGHT NOT work.
If it doesn't work, it would seem that you've managed to damage your motherboard
and need to replace it.

It was the power supply at fault.

What kinda piece of junk power supply dies when the processor eats itself?

Allied, I guess....

BTW...thanks to EveryonesGrudge for the advice. Hope you had a good chuckle over my being a chucklehead!
