I bought a intel heatsink and fan, E30307-001

when I plug in and started the pc the fan spins but when it gets to windows it stops and then pc shuts down,

is there a driver I had to install first if yes, I don't have the cd so where can I download it


thanks

There's no drivers for heatsinks and fans.
Did you apply thermal paste ?

Did you get ahead of yourself and hit submit before finishing what you were trying to get across ?

Did you clean any old paste off the cpu before instaling the new HS&F ?

If I were you, I'd get a tube of thermal paste, clean the old paste off and reinstall the HSF before trying to power up again.

It's possible, too much thermal paste isn't a good thing.

use a lint-free cloth and dab a but of 100% rubbing alcohol on it, make sure nothing cuts you like the stock hsf, cause then you're in for a world of pain depending on how bad you cut yourself
