hi,
replaced a friends motherboard for them today as it had died. i re-built the system as i have done with many others before and when i started it all up the fan on the cpu span for about a second and stopped.
then i checked all the connections...the mobo led was still green when the power went back on (socket 478 board) and when i started it again i heard a faint "crack" and smelt burning.
now when i power up the fan spins normally.
reckon the cpu was dead before i re-installed it? or is it something i did wrong?
