Did I kill my power supply / hard drive?

Alright, just got a very interesting problem. I just got my cpu I bought off the fs/t forum, and I was prime95ing at 2.5ghz and 2v, just to see if it would do it. I left the room and I came back, and the computer had turned it self off. I thought strange, I wonder why it did that. So I try to turn it back on, and it doesn't. I unplug the power cord and plug it back in, and now when I press the power on button, it turns on for a second and then turns back off. I keep on pressing the power on button and the same thing happens over and over. Okay I think this is pretty strange, so I'm thinking maybe the cpu died, so I switch out the cpu, and same thing happens. So its not the cpu. I switch out the power supply, and boom it turns on. But the thing is, it won't detect my main hard drive! I have a 80 gig (main) and a 20 gig (for storage), and when are plugged in, it would stay at the "detecting ide drives screen". But if I unplug the 80 gig, it can find the 20gig fine. Whats going on here?

oh btw system specs
8rda+
1700+
512mb pc3000
80gb wd se drive
20gb maxtor
radeon 8500

2V? you prolly burned the CPU

cpu wasn't the problem, I tried a different cpu and same results. Also, I think if you run it at 2v for a lil while it wouldn't do that much damage.

Nice burnin.

Can I kill my hard drive like that? The 80 gig just isn't detected anymore.

Did you try clearing the CMOS?

Take out the battery of use the jumper, then see what it does. Try the HD in another system! That'll give you a definate result

i may be wrong here, but regardless of the time, the CPU can go out at any given time when running volatage that high. obviously that wasnt the case though
