I have an athlon 1400 and abit kg7 motherboard with a retail heatsink. I ordered some new artic silver 3 and a Thermaltake volcano 7 and installed it today. Once everything was back in, I tried to boot it up and it would turn on for about 3 seconds, and then turn itself off. I checked ever connection several times and took the whole system apart to make sure I didn't miss something. Everything seemed right so I took the new heatsink off and put the old one back on and the computer works fine.
Any suggestions? The heatsink is big, but didn't seem to be touching anything else. Could the heatsink be bad? Thanks for the help.
