Well I was using a old cpu fan that was barely doing its job for my AMD 1700 cpu..... But it never over heated.... I just got a new cpu cooler from SVC a few days ago and I hooked it up today....
Here's the thing.... I couldn't find my artic silver so I was so excited I just attached the new CPU cooler sans thermal or arttic ... naked if you will!!!
The machine was only on for 30 secs when I get an alarm from my motherboard!!!! I never heard it before but I set the BIOS for fatal shutdown on 70c for the CPU....
Right now the power turns on and all fans seem to be running, but I get nothing on video? So I can't even get into bios.... Is my cpu toast?
Any advice all knowing ones? thanks!
