OK... I'm freakin' out here a little... I'm getting an error that is not letting me get past POST on my newly built computer. It was working and everything just fine, but I noticed that the CPU temp was a little higher than I had seen it. I decided to clean it up and put a new layer of thermal paste on - that went well - no problems booting up. I then decided to check CMOS settings 'cause I was still getting a little more heat than I wanted, so I rebooted and at the same time pulled off the side of my case (as I had done a million times before, with no jerking or jiggling, it came off clean). But as I pulled it off, I got a long beep that I did not stop - so I quickly held in my power button to shut the computer off. Now, when I boot up, I keep getting this error message: "Keyboard Error or No Keyboard Present ... CMOS Checksum Error - loading defaults" and my computer keeps beeping. I have cleared CMOS over and over - and even pulled out the battery. I'm stuck and I don't know what to do!!! Please help!!!!
