I recently tried to upgrade the hsf on my 1.4GHZ 266 fsb cpu. It had been running of the hot side but not overclocked. I had purchased a Thermalright SK6+ Delta HUGE 60x38(loud as hell but moves some serious air) with a copper shim. After installing the hsf and using artic silver III I powered up the system. It ran about 15 secs and stopped. I checked everything and it looked like the hsf was not making contact with the cpu core. I corrected this but the system will not POST or boot. I am using a ECS K7S5A mobo. I broke the system down to barebones: cpu, memory, video card and floppy, still no joy! Other than trouble swapping, how can I tell If I have fried the cpu, is there anything visable on the cpu? There was no smoke, fire, flames or oder! No burn marks on the cpu. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Last question. When I purchased this system about 2 months ago, I purchased 256M of DDR ram that was suppose to be Micron. The "void warranty if removed label" does have a large "M" on it. I cannot make any sense of the info printed on the chips themselves. Could someone please point me in the right direction to ID the memory. The memory does work, I just want to make sure I got what I paid for!!!
Thanks All
