It sounds like your problems arose from something that happened when you installed the new HS/fan.

I hope you used good thermal compound with your new HS, and you applied a very thin coating. Thermal compound is only intended to fill tiny pits and gaps between the chip and the HS. Anything more will actually impede thermal transfer.

If you are sure you did this correctly, try removing and carefully re-inserting you CPU.

Good luck. 🙂
 
hmm well i didn't put that thin a caot i spread it all over the die what do you recommend to remove the old coat i used isophryl alcohol 70% also i used arctil silver
 
Arctic Silver is a good choice. You probably don't have to take the previous coat off. Just thin it way down with your fingertip and use the alcohol to get it off your finger. 🙂
