[pb_junkie]

Specs:

512 mb pc 3200
abit ai7 mobo
aiw 9800 pro 128mb
prescott 3.0 E processor
320 w psu

today I was installing a new heatsink on my computer and i realized it wasnt fitting right so installed it on my new computer that i built today. but when i went ahead and reinstalled my other heat sink and hooked everything backup I realized my video output wasnt working, i quickly thought that it had to be my video card so i took 2 other video cards and neither would give video output...

CN: no video output after taking apart and putting computer back together... basically

 

[pb_junkie]

you think its mobo...? thats all i can think of... bump

 

[pb_junkie]

bump... goin to intro to business

Didn't use to much force or anything did you?

No video for me in the past has usually meant the proc has bit the dust

 

[pb_junkie]

im afraid of that because i just took the heatsink off and used isopropal alc. to take off the artic silver and i put more on etc.. and reinstalled everything and its not workng now

bump all i want is my baby to come back to life...

 

[pb_junkie]

[pb_junkie]

Do you see any physical damage on the processor? Did you use excessive force when installing/removing it?

the processor looks fine the pins are all straight, so no physical damage that is visible. installed it gently and then locked it into place..

im thinking there might have been some moisture on the processor after removing the thermal compound and it could have fried that way.

[pb_junkie]

A 320 watt ps seems a little light for a Prescott system. I wouldn't go any less than 400w...those are some power hungry puppies. It looks a lot like my last rig (which my wife now uses daily). I doubt it's the cpu, but if you decide to dump the box, I'd try and revive her and bring it into my "fold". ESD can kill your board in a heartbeat. Were you properly grounded when you were handling your components?
