computer crash
« on: January 20, 2008, 11:39:09 PM »
So I reaplied the thermal paste to my cpu and I accedently got some on the pins. I cleaned them off as best I could and now my computer shuts down right after I hit the power. Do you think the pins aren't connecting or could I have fried my processor when cleaning it off. please help, I am writing this on my Wii.

You are still having a heat issue. The heatsink isn't seated correctly.
Remove and clean both parts with isotropic alcohol. You don't need to remove the processor to do this.
Once clean and dry, re-apply thermal paste and mount the heatsink correctly on the MOBO/processor.
