This morning my computer was running fine. I took the cpu out of it to test a different mobo with it and when I went to put it back in its original computer, it would not boot or post...screen just stays black but everything is on inside the case. I cleaned off the heatsink and cpu, reapplied some arctic silver, and reseated it, and still wont work.
About 3 weeks ago I had taken the cpu out to do the same thing. Initially when I put it back in, it wouldnt boot, but after taking it out and cleaning it, I was able to get it to boot. But no luck with it this time. Would this be a cpu problem? Did it die during the transitions? I was very careful with it. Is there anything else it could be? Thanks in advance.
(CPU wont also boot on a dfi blood iron board, but neither would the e8500 I have on the blood iron.)
Here are my Specs:
Core 2 Duo e6600
Asus p5b-e
3G g.skill ram
700w PSU
ati x1900
