My computer was working fine earlier today, but I think the CPU may be fried now after upgrading its cooler. I have a MSI P67A-C43 (MS-7673) motherboard with an i5-2500k. I upgraded its cooler to a Hyper 212 Evo and then put the computer back together. I powered it on, it turned on for a split second and then it turned off. I realized I hadn't connected the CPU cord from the PSU to the MB. I connected the cord and powered on. I get a few normal beeps and then 5 error beeps. My monitor's display is blank and remains blank. CPU fan spins normally and 4 lights on the motherboard above the CPU, under the text "Active Phase Switching", all light up. I assumed that these lights referred to the CPU cores' activity
So, did I fry my CPU? Not sure what else the problem could be.
I need this computer working ASAP, classes start on the 7th and I need it for applying for internships during the rest of break.
