CPU or MOBO?

[Mindmaze]

Hi,
Yesterday, while putting on Arctic Silver 5 on my cpu, I accidentally turned my comp on without heatsink on. I turned it off in less than 3 seconds, but every time I turn my comp on, I get a blank screen.
When I touch my heatsink, it feels warm. Do you think it's possible that the mobo got screwed up, but not the cpu?

Specs are:
Athlon XP 1700+
Soltek KT266 chipset
Good powersupply(400 W)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Doubtfull the board was harmed, probably damaged just the right circuits on the CPU to make it completely non-functional.
