I have an A7M266/T'bird 1.3G that has been modified to let me adjust voltages and the multiplier. It ran pretty well at 1.5, but I had a case heating problem, so I removed all the guts and punched out the grill in the back of the case using a chassis punch and then replaced all the fans with new sunons. I wanted to test the fans and did something horribly stupid. I powered up the motherboard to get the fans to run, and discovered why I should never work on things with no sleep. No heatsink. I figure it was up for maybe 20-30 seconds at which point I detected a smell went "oh #^%#" and pulled the plug.
After finshing my fan change I reassembled the entire system and now it won't post. I horribly afraid that I've fried the CPU, MB or both. I swapped the CPU into a Epox 8k7t+ board that I jusy got in in order to build a new system and immediately after power on I get a 'FF' code which according to the manual is "BIOS has already passed control to the operating system" (This is 3 seconds after power on) And it won't POST either. My guess is I fried the CPU, but I could use a second opinion. (Other than gee, what a *&^*^$% you are. (I _know_ that)) I pulled the battery on the a7m board to let the CMOS discharge, but no change this morning.
Thanks.
