Help, Computer Won't Start

ooooh doesn't sound too good to me !
Have you tried clearing the CMOS ?

It sounds like you may have crushed the core either when removing the old sink or attaching the new one

Or maybe you didn't seat the Volcano flush with the core and it burnt out ?? did you smell burning ?

Have you got your motherboard manual it will tell you what the Error beeps mean... may just be a loose AGP card or memory ?

PHEW!!!...I really did think I fried my CPU last night. But after about an hour of studying the circuit and consulting the MB manual, i found out that the computer kept shutting of because of the CPU fan fail safe. If a fan isn't hooked up (in my case hooked up properly) to the CUPFAN1 slot on the MB, it automatically shutdown all power to prevent the CPU from burning up into a little ball of flame. Thanks for suggestions. I feel so sheepish, but greatly relieved.

THanks again
