Hello everyone
My system is a core i7 920 CO/C1 and I have a Gigabyte UD4P motherboard, with 6 GB ram.
I have a huge problem... my PC will not boot. I bought a Thermalright IFX-14, just to see if I could shave off a couple of degrees while overclocking. I guess somehow something went wrong.
I installed it, despite I did not think that the backplate, bracket and mounting plate were securing it well enough. I was not even able to tighten the spring loaded screws hard enough to avoid any heatsink movement.
But that is not the problem anyway. What I would like to know is how do I determine if my CPU has died on me?
When I power up everything works as supposed except the system does not boot. All fans, motherboard and graphics card lights up and it really sounds like its booting up - but no. I can hear the motherboard beep once and it sounds like it normally does, but my screen reamains blank.
What leads me to think its the CPU that has died, is the fact that if I connect the power connector of the CPU cooler fan to the CPU fan header instead of the system fan, the fan will not run. It will run in the sys_fan but not the CPU_fan. Does that mean it is my CPU that is dead?
I really need some help here...thanks.
