You went straight to the core of the computer, and could have possibly damaged it beyond repair. Something to check: Did you reseat the CPU (processor chip) correctly? My friend's CPU wouldn't boot properly, and when I removed his CPU, there was a bent pin, so we had to get it replaced. Also, with a broken CPU fan, it isn't wise to turn on the computer. The heat it generates could potentially damage the processor chip. Did you remove any connections (hard drive, floppy drive, CD/DVD drive) and not put them back? This is the only thing I could think from the "detecting IDE connection" message. NEVER HAVE YOUR COMPUTER PLUGGED INTO A SOCKET WHEN YOU ARE WORKING ON IT. You should only plug it in when you are ready to power it on, and always unplug it when you are doing work on it. Suggestion: Unhook everything, and make sure you have only the CPU, heatsink, CPU fan, and memory installed on the motherboard. Have your keyboard, mouse, and monitor hooked up. Turn on the computer. You should be able to get to the BIOS without anything else installed. If your computer can't get that far, you damaged something. |
i know i should had not touched the core of the computer....but the chip is good though....when i took it out i looked at it and then i put the chip right back into place and it just sat right in...it just that my keyboard and mouse and montior isnt getting any more...when i turn the pc on...i see that the caps lock, number lock and scroll lock light blinks and goes off and i press the caps lock and it does nothing....im confused!!! i just know that when i was putting the fan on i put my finger in the CPU fan and the CPU fan stopped...does that mean that the voltages from me stopping the CPU fan damaged something on the motherboard???
