I have a purchased http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-036-OK http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-005-SK http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-138-SP

Now, i've put it all together, turned it on and nothing. The computer fires up, HDD stays on solid, no bios beep, monitor goes into standby.

I'm using an IDE HDD btw.

Any ideas whats up? Thanks.

HDD actually spins when i disconnect it from the board but the standby light remains.

When I pulled the lever down to trap the cpu it seemed to be a bit wonky. Could this be the problem?

All PSU connectors are connected, tried both graphics outputs. the HDD light stays on solid. All fans spin but no bios beep

Win XP is on the HDD atm.

There are pin marks in the cpu......is this bad

It was sitting square then soon as the lever went down it looked like it had shifted to the side.

It's sitting properly now but the heatsink will not go on the damned chip! It will not click down!

I have done. It's just these 2 holes on the board. The pins do not go in

I've noticed one of the little plastic grips is missing now. I'm fed up of messing around with it so i'm gonna try and get a new heatsink/fan. Could somebody point me in the direction of one for <£20

Will any socket 775 heatsink do?

Thanks

I've tried eliminating all silly little things like that. I've given up for the time being. It has been severly winding me up. All I want to do is play on the thing
