Broken motherboard or CPU?

wrote in message
ps.com...
I had to remove the water cooling kit from a Socket939 machine but the
CPU came off with the water cooling CPU block because of the sticky
paste while the lever was still down,


You have damaged the socket.......possibly the CPU, and you tried
twice(heat/mangling) to do that, so the odds are greater you did it in.




it looks like the pins are not
broken or bent and fits in again with the old heatsink on top of it.

Result:
1) Turn on PC
2) No beep
3) CPU fan spinning
4) HD spinning
5) Light in front is on but HD activity light isn't flashing
6) Monitor shows "No signal"
7) Forced to press the ON button for 5 seconds to shut down machine

What could be the problem?
What can I do to check whether it's a CPU or Motherboard problem?

TIA

Would a machine boot up without or faulty memory and notify me in BOIS?

Yes, if the cpu is working you should get a beep code at least.

No, if the memory is barely instable it might make it to the
bios but in general if the memory is bad, or missing, it
won't POST at all or lock up far sooner rather than later.

Wrong, as always.


You might get a beep code for no memory, but neither it, or
others are guaranteed in general. SO the beep can point to
a problem, but lack of beep...

You should still get some form of beep, even if its
only the single no errors beep, if the cpu is fine.

Only if you have working memory. Motherboards used to Beep if you had
no memory - but these days its very much luck of the draw if they do or
don't. All the boards I've tried in recent years were completetly
silent without RAM.

[which I'll grant you is only about half a dozen or so, I'm not in the
habit of testing things to see if they /don't/ work]

YMMV

I'd have a fancy signature, but I haven't thought of one yet.

Sure, but like I said, if the cpu is good and there is ram,
you should get a no errors beep when the POST completes.

another compatible motherboard.
I took of the heatsink and fan from the CPU and turned the machine on
for 30 seconds and switched it off, the CPU was _hot_, however no
signal to monitor or beep.

I can't believe you just did that.

Do not ever turn on a system without the heatsink on it.
You may have NOW damaged the CPU, might now have two dead
pieces of gear instead of one.




Those warning and cautions are for everybody else NOT ME, can not happen
here, I never had an accident before, but it was just too hard to do it
the right way. IF IT WASN'T SMOKED BEFORE BET IT IS NOW.
