Help!!

first of all my system isnt finished yet, so sometimes i borrow ram from my moms pc and put it in mine. So, a few days ago i took out the ram and her sempron 3000+ and installed it in mine to see if i get a higher clock speed. So i get it running and im in cpuz, then i open up clockgen, change the speed to 2100mhz, i figured that would be a good speed to start at since my mobile sempron can do 2300mhz easily. So I change it apply settings and it(vista) freeze's computer restarts with a blank black screen. So i put it(cpu + ram) back in my moms computer and hook everything up and turn it on. First it shows the compaq screen, then it says cpu fan error, contact support immediatly. So i figured no big deal ill just replace my moms heatsink with mine. Same Thing!!! So i figured when i overclocked it possibly gave the cpu heatsink too much voltage, so we went out and bought a heatsink install it still says cpu fan error. So im thinking its either the processor or the ram(but when i overclocked with her ram before i got no problems), so im leaning more over to the cpu. Any Ideas?


btw: My cpu is a Mobile Amd Sempron s754 in a desktop.

hers is a Amd Sempron s754 in a desktop as well.


Please someone help! If no help comes soon im taking to shop tomorrow.

In my experiences with blown CPU's, the BIOS screen typically doesn't come on at all, nor does the computer even try to power up.

My suggestion would be to clear your BIOS and see if that resolves your issue.

As long as the fan is spinning and your temperatures are ok, you'll be fine.

Are you sure your fan is plugged into the CPU header and not a MOBO header? If the fan is plugged in to the wrong slot, it'll spin but the CPU header will sense no movement, and cause an error.

wow, i feel dumb. It was in a fan header instead of a cpu header. Well Mods can close this thread. Thanks for all the help guys.
