My computer is not sending a signal to my monitor when I turn it on. The monitor is fine. The computer worked for 30 days (convenient for newegg) then began to spiral downward. I will explan more below. Just to help here is my system
Mobo: gigabyte P965 DS3 (rev 1.3)
Processor: Core 2 duo E6600
Ram: Corsair XMS2 2x1GB DDR21066
Video Card: 320MB EVGA 8800GTS Overclocked (550Mhz)
Heatsink: Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme
Case: Antec P180B
OS: WinXP x64 <-- Because It was free
Monitor: 22" G-skill 1080P
I had my computer standing upright and it suddenly froze, no mouse movement or anything. I turned it off and it would not come back on. I took off the heatsink and processor after many attempts at restarting it. I put the processor ack in and screwed in the heatsink again and it worked after a few tries.
20 minutes later It froze again. So I turned it off and no boot or post again just a black screen. I jiggled the heatsink a little and it booted again. This whole process has been happening on and off for the last couple days. I have checked to see that the power supply is on the correct voltage settings and I have checked running CPU and system heat it's around 40 degrees C or lower. It's a little warm but nothing that would cause damage to my system.
I wanted to get an expert opinion before I bought a new heatsink or processor. Do I just need some rubbing alcohol to clean processor and heatsink and some arctic silver to replace old paste?
I do not know anything that would make this happen except God's wrath for browsing porn at dual core speeds. plz help!
Thanks
