I went and bought a new PSU and it did the same thing as the old one. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

So I am going to have to return this $100 PSU.

Now, I started removing all the PCI-e and PCI cards, I had a few. That is to no avail. Then I removed the RAM and turned on the PSU. Still the same thing.

The last thing I did was remove the heatsink and PSU. Guess what, the PSU stays on, now. I haven't put the CPU back on yet but what does this mean????? Did my CPU die?


There is hardly any paste left on the CPU/heatsink join. Could this be an issue?

I need some advise as to whats next fairly quickly. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

You guys are AWESOME!!!!
