Hi,

I have installed the evo 212, I have a i5 3570k and the asrock extreme 4 in case it makes any difference.

After installing the heat sink the PC blue screens when trying to boot windows. I tried entering the bios but it doesn't load and he screen goes
Black.

please help! I think the problem is with the processor but not sure. What should I do?

Thanks

Maybe you've broken some CPU pins. Although I find that hard to believe since replacing the CPU cooler doesn't require to move the CPU itself. So unless you are sure that you've replaced the cooler correctly without any movement of the CPU, you should check the pins.

check your cooler assembly and other connections for looseness.
what is your full pc configuration?
did you remove or move any other part during cooler installation or after?
are the memory modules fit properly?
did you tighten the cooler's mounting brackets too much?
