I have a GA-965P-DS3 mobo and a Q6600. My syystem started overheating and shutting itself down, so I looked inside and noticed a covering of dust over the heatsink. I bought that can of air and some new grease for the heatsink/cpu. I took everything out, got all the dust out, and put it back together.
Now the system doesen't seem to post or beep. Nothing is displayed. The power goes on just fine and all fans are running, HD's spinning, etc, but there seem to be no BIOS.
What do you think: did I kill my mobo when I put the cpu back on it? I hate how hard you have to push down on the heatsink screws to get the thing in.
What should I try before I order a new mobo?
Thanks!
