Hello, I have problem similar to one in this thread: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1872439/hdd-mobo-cpu.html
I upgraded from o athlon 64x2 3600 and Asus M2V to DG35EC and E8400. Out of, other people's approval, and my own slip-up I let windows(7) start booting and after inevitable bsod, i got black screen instead of post. Next restart, again. Note, that this mobo doesn't give post message like i am used to, and doesn't even beep on success.
Could have something bad happen there from this?
Also, before abovementioned issue, i replaced thermal paste it came with, with one i had laying around (unfortunately, not from any big brand) and it has made cpu heat to 70°C in bios.
What are usual idle temperatures for this processor?
I will try to locate problem by removing everyting but mobo, and adding one device at the time. But I don't have cover plate for lga775, and i want to make sure no dust gets in, is it safe to cover socket with sponge from under processor storage box and turn it on?
Edit: i found some info about this paste i used
