Ok so I finally got my E6600 today, it was OEM. i went out and got a Thermal-take silent Heatsink for it /w thermal paste. Ive put lots of AMD system together, so I thought that this would be easy. I put everything together.. started it up.. and now, everything turn's on, but there is no signal from my videocard and I dont here that inital beep.. Did I fry my Processor? or is it a power supply issue.. NOTE: I have a 460w ps.
 
My Computer (as of now)
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3
2 Gb of OCZ DDR 2 800mhz (PC6400)
7800 GT (Oc'd Out of box)
1x Maxtor IDE Hdd
1x Western Digital Raptor 10k RPM SATA
460w PS

I did some reading, and I think I might know what the problem is. I really didnt know how to properly install my Heatsink (Didnt get manual's or anything!! YAY FOR ME), I believe I might have installed the back plate wrong, some metal might be touching the mobo. Is there any hope for the mobo if it is shorted?
