Screwed Something

Forum CPU & Components : Other Components Screwed Something

Word :    Username :           
 

I was doing some hardcore dust cleaning today, I took out all the hardware (harddrive, ram, cdroms, floppy, power supply, etc..) and I just simply blew the dust from everything. After I was done I pluged everything back in, and put everything back together.

When booting, screen was just black and all I heard was these beeping sounds comming from the Power Supply. Did a simple google search on this, I found an answer that worked. It stated that its a ram problem, I simply repluged in the ram and everything seened fine.

I try booting again, no sounds, but the computer is not communicating with the monitor.. after poking things for a bit I noticed that the computer is not responding to any hardware at all.

Anyone know what can be wrong?

You may have to reset your CMOS jumper.

Check if your videocard is plugged in correctly... sometimes you have to push hard to make it fit correctly.

My CPU fan spins so fast that it creates a wormhole :eek:

Could this CPU work for me?

No. Not unless you get lucky and find someone who has tried it on your model board. Oem...
