Hello everyone,
I have an AMD 2100+ cpu and an ABIT KX7 333 mother board.
Tonight I added a new cpu cooler, Arctic Cooling Copper silent, to help adding it I took the motherboard out of the case and fitted it, (takes more time but is a peace of pie to-do.
Problem is once I put it all back together again and turned it on the pc fires up then turns off after about 2 seconds. I've messed around with all the connections and still it didn't work. I then took the motherboard (again) out of it's case with just the cpu and cooler on it wired it up to a PSU but still it fired up then turned off after 2 seconds.
I've damaged either the cpu or motherboard. Apart from buying one of them at a time and working out what one is faulty is there anything else I can do?
I'm pretty cheesed off to say the least, I did wear an earth strap. Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Greg
