Hi, so i was working on my pc last night, adding a light in, and in the maze of power cords, i managed to connect the light and the power for my CPU fan (not the stock hsf), so really neither of them were getting power, and i saw the light wasn't on, but didn't notice the cpu fan wasn't gonig, so for like 45 seconds--a minute, there was no fan to my cpu, so i shut it off right there. so i restart after i get everything sorted out. after the initial load part, where it says the processor and the amount of RAM, it says, CPU has been modifed or changed, then i noticed above it said athlonxp 1500, instead of 2500, so i go into the bios and check everything out.
then i restart and it loads up fine. i get to the windows log on, i try to click my name, and then the pc restarted. i've done that like 10 times, i notice that the light in my mouse goes out a few seconds before the machine shuts off. one time i was quick enough to click my name and type my password, a box came up saying couldn't write pagefile or something, then it shut off.so then i try safemode, under safe mode it wouldn't load either, said something about a lss.exe (not exactly that but it had s and l in the name). i've unplugged everything from the power supply, and still the same result
so yeah, i have no idea what's wrong w/ my pc, anyone have any idea? if there was something wrong with the CPU or anything really i didn't think it'd get as far as the windows logon before quitting, but i really don't know. i'm worried that i may have damaged the cpu, but it doesnt' seem like it could have gotten that damaged by being on for a minute, i mean the heat sink was still there to help. any ideas?
thanks for any help
