CPU Problem?

[Rineref]

I was upgrading my old pc. Bought a new motherboard, a cpu and graphics card.
I put the motherboard (Asus A8N-E SLI), the vga card (Geforce 7600GTS)
and the cpu (Athlon 64 3500+, s939). I was starting wiring the pc when I realized that i put the cpu without opening the little handle the socket has.
After 10 minutes of trying puting out the cpu heatsink, I finally place the cpu in the socket the right way (using the little handle).

Now when my pc starts and just after the initial booting (POST) it goes with a blue screen that says something i can't understand and crashes. Windows won't load not even the windows loading screen.

What's the problem? I'm afraid I destroy the cpu in the way I originaly place it, although I can't see any visual anomalies on it when I last checked.
Please a little help.

Sorry for my english.

read the directions in your motherboard manual on how to properly seat a cpu.

It may have damaged the processor and board by not correctly seating the cpu.

Next time read the directions to properly install devices if you do not know how.

I do know how to setup a cpu, i just place the cpu on the socket forgetting somehow to ajust the handle first and thus placing it as is. I don't know however if in that case forcing the heatsink on top afterwards creates any problem at the cpu although I can't figure out how is that possible.
Blue screens after POTS, indicate a hdd problem or maybe luck of power???

The blue screen indicates that something is not right and the system has crashed. As written before, when you were trying to put in the cpu incorrectly, you may well have damaged the cpu and/or motherboard. Either of these would cause a blue screen.

As to the hard drive and the power supply, since those were presumably working before, they should not cause a blue screen, provided you hooked them up properly.

what i'm saying is next time read your manual. its all there. Yes you quite possibly did damage your components.

Did you force it in the 1st time? I'd only be concerned if you bent or broke any pins on the CPU.

As far as your blue screens... Did you just hook up your HD drive and expect windows to load properly?

When you change out the MB/CPU that are different from your previous installation, you need to reinstall windows.

No i didn't force the cpu into the socket. The orientation was right. I just didn't do the open handle-put cpu-close handle procedure the first time. Second time i've checked the cpu and all pins was fine, neither bented nor broken.
Although now you mention it, i didn't start with a fresh Windows installation. Just hooked up the hdd and started the pc, thought wouldn't mind that...

Every handle I've used, lifts.

Forcing the CPU fan in place might not have been such a good idea.

A later post explains how you got BSOD's before loading windows but to answer that question. Yes, changing the motherboard, cpu and video card without proper preplanning often causes windows to function improperly.

POTS is Plain Old Telephone System and I doubt you will be having luck anytime soon.

cant believe how many noobs on this forum protending their are hardware pros.

if the CPU is damaged, u CAN NOT hear or get a POST !!!! so please shut up about how u think the CPU or motherboard might be damaged.

-----------------------------------------
Your Windows installation on your hard drive was configured and installed based on the components of your old Motherboard and CPU, the devices on your old motherboard are different than ur new ones. for example the IDE controller, memory controller etc. these mismatches in most cases result a system crash before Windows starting to load its main component files

P.S. Pros, correct me if im wrong
------------------------------------------

If you dont have any important data on your hard drive. do a fresh installation of Windows XP (or whatever OS ur using)

or

if you have a new hard disk, install it and install a fresh copy of windows.

now you have a better chance of getting ur new machine to work rather than listening to these retards telling u ur CPU and Motherboard are damaged.

By the way, YOU WILL GET A BLANK SCREEN if your CPU is not correctly connected(intel s775) or inserted (amd s939)

OK guys, thank you all for your info.
The problem was on Windows. I should have re-installed it in first place.
Now everything works just fine.
