Hi
I'm having a problem.
I changed my friends HD (because it had a smart error) and put new cpu paste on it (really needed it)
As I took the cpu off, i saw a little bit, really just very little thermal paste on the cpu bottom (wtf?) and surely also some on the motherboard where the cpu fits in.
I removed the thermal paste very carefully with alcohol.
Then I closed everthing and wanted to start the pc. But it only went on for a second. Better said, nothing went on beside the fans, which spinned for a half sec. And after that, the fans are trying to spin again in an intervall of 1-2 sec. Spin, pause, spin, pause. After some time ive found out, that I can leave all cables plugged in everywhere, also the big motherboard cable, except the "pwr 1" cable (That thing with the 4 pins, i think its called cpu cable) and the pc gets power, but of course without the cpu cable there is nothing booting.
So whats broken, the motherboard, cpu? Something else?
Already done:
I have already changed the PowerSupply, its the same symptom with both
Thank u greatly in advance.
