if you can get into the bios and check the voltages and tempretures in there

when a power supply decides to quit most of the time you just lose it
when bfg go they have a habit of taking half the computer with it from what we have seen posted
did you have a shorting problem before
fan is plugged into the cpu fan slot
zalman refitted and tightened
can't get on to bios

i had a shorting problem before, but it was due to my rear I/O panel pushing against the "clear CMOS" button, so it never booted. but once i found out, everything is fine.

any other possible solutions?

i've already re-applied the thermal paste... that's can't be a startup problem right?
