I installed a new e2180 last night. After a while, the computer cut off and when I tried to turn it back on all that happened was the cpu hsf turned about 1 turn. No lights, beeps, other fans...... When I took off my hsf to try another processor, I noticed that it wasn't seated correctly and was not flush on the cpu. Obviously it overheated and is probably fried. When i put my old P4 back in I got the exact same thing...half turn of hsf. Now I know my mobo is more than likely fried, but i wanted to know if there is anyting else i could check before I bought a new one. I tried resetting cmos...
