My System

The cleaning I did yesterday did not work. I applied new thermal paste and hooked everything back up and got the same results... powers on for about 3 seconds then shuts off. I took everything apart again and tried cleaning it some more, and I'm going to let it dry tonight. Is there anyway I can try to determine whether the motherboard or processor is going to need to be replaced? Also, it is urgent that I get this thing up and running, so if I was going to order either a new motherboard or a new processor, which one should I order that would be most likely to work with the other part I already have?
