I recently tried to upgrade the hsf on my 1.4GHZ 266 fsb cpu. 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! 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!!!
Thank All
