Hi, I just replaced my cpu, which seemed to be overheating, with the same model but the computer won't start up now.
The cpu is an intel duo core E8400, motherboard is a gigabyte EP45-DS3L. I'm not sure how to read the rams model off the ram itself and I don't have it's old packaging, there's two 2 gig DDR2-800 sticks, other info on the ram itself is F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ and PC2-6400. Sorry about not being able to be specific with the ram. The video card is an nvidia geforce 7600 gt.
Everything was working fine until about a month ago when i started getting freeze ups, usually playing a game. It was infrequent until 3 weeks ago when it would shut down within 30 minutes of start up. I checked the cpu temp and it was around 100 degrees celsius. The cpu fan spinning around 3k rpm. I called intel support and they said just to send them the cpu and they sent back a replacement. I just got the new cpu today but the problem now is the computer won't start up, I don't hear any beeps, I don't see the power lights, but the cpu fan turns on.
I've double checked that the cpu and cpu fan is installed right and secure. I also took out the battery on the motherboard for a minute to reset the motherboard to default settings. I tested the monitor with an xbox and it checked out there. I'd appreciate any help anyone could offer.
