<0> meelk, cpu fan turns on now, along with case fans, but all keep turning off and turning on
<0> im receiveing now beeps
<0> err, no
<1> hrm
<0> I heard a beep the first time i turned it on
<1> got yer ram in properly?
<0> now, its resetting
<0> Yeah, I tried reseating it
<1> some boards require ram in alternating slots, some require it side by side
<1> double check
<0> I only got 1 seated, in dimm1
<1> hm
<0> shouldnt i receive a double beep
<0> if the ram aint seated
<1> this is your first build?
<0> No
<1> ah
<0> but my friend tried putting it together b4 i got there
<1> heh
<0> and he ended up loading the heatsink with thermal grease
<0> as in, it was coming out of the sides
<1> sure your friend didnt **** something up?
<0> hah thats what im not sure of, there was some thermal grease on the pins of the cpu...
<0> i tried alcohol, cuetips to get it off...
<1> gonna need it all off
<1> and absolutely completely dry
<0> right
<0> just hard with the pins and cuetips
<0> u end up getting the cuetip stuck :)
<1> didnt smear thermal paste all over the cpu area did he?
<1> on the board?
<0> on the mobo?
<1> yea
<0> No
<0> I told him where to put it
<0> but he used 3/4 of the bottle...
<1> heh
<1> sure your friend doesnt work at apple?
<0> so i took it off, and claeaned it up as well as I could
<1> :D
<0> ahahah
<0> but I dont know why I initially received a beep, now its resetting itself
<0> unless chip burned up
<1> could he have gotten paste in the socket holes? i dont even know if that would do anything, but its worth checking.
<0> Well, thats highly possible...
<0> I'll try to take a toothpick to it, see if i can nab some of the stuff out of the sockets
<0> alcohol inside the sockets wont hurt will it?
<2> <0> hah thats what im not sure of, there was some thermal grease on the pins of the cpu...
<1> i wouldnt
<0> heh, i dunno what to do
<1> ive never had to clean a socket hole, i dont know
<2> Goodbye microprocessor and probably the socket.
<1> yeah
<3> if it's pure and all evaporates before you put the proc back in, it won't hut
<1> im thinking you have paste in there
<3> hurt
<0> yeah so do I
<3> (but it probably won't help, either)
<1> it would be a bitch to get out
<2> That 'grease' is conductive. You have just ruined your board if you put it in the socket.
<0> yeah
<0> or if two pins have it touching them together
<3> troopa: the holes are made to be conductive
<3> ;)
<2> mbuna: Thermal grease isn't made to be put in it.
<1> im staying out of this one. ive never had that problem so i cant call
<0> he has a good pt...
<1> heh
<0> ahaha
<0> I'd reseat the chip, but he used all the thermal grease
<3> it changes the resistance and capacitance, for sure
<1> punch your friend in the mouf/
<0> haha, he couldnt wait for me
<0> I told him i'd be 10 mins
<0> and he took it into his own hands
<3> and a lot of the time, thermal paste is _not_ electrically conductive, so that could be the problem
<3> examine the pins and clean them off really well
<0> yeah
<3> stick it in the socket and pull it back out
<3> if they hae paste on them, that could be your problem
<3> if not, it probably isn't
<0> well, why would it beep first time i started it
<0> then now it resets
<2> Did you attempt to power the PC with the grease on the pin?
<0> no
<0> I attempted to clean it off
<0> but it isnt easy
<1> you said you dont have any paste?
<1> ah
<0> not anymore, i used the rest of the bottle after cleaning off 3/4 of it
<1> so you havent completely cleaned it
<0> Yeah
<0> I took alcohol to the top of the chip, bottom of heatsink, and the pins
<1> im going to call your friend stupid, and you lazy now
<1> :D
<0> ahha no, i tried completely cleaning it
<0> "tried"
<3> you can take alcohol to the bottom of the chip without hurting it
<3> just be carful of static electricity
<3> careful
<0> Ok
<3> man, i _cannot_ type today
<3> use something that won't buildup a charge
<4> this new aim pro is not gonna be good
<3> like i toothpick
<3> instead of a cloth
<0> ok
<0> i'll try after he gets more thermal paste
<0> or i can find some at my house
<4> whos using aim pro right now?
<4> becuase it basically trillian
<4> icq
<4> aim
<4> irc
<4> the works
<5> trillian ****s
<4> yea
<4> i know
<4> i use gaim
<4> even on windows
<3> i use Adium
<3> (and nothing on windows)
<4> adium
<4> ?
<3> the core of Adium is GAIM code, i think
<3> sweet OSX multi-IM client
<4> nice
<1> i want a mac
<1> going to get one before christmas maybe
<4> macs are great
<6> 0.95$ now in MacDo
<6> They're tasty.
<1> trying to decide if I *really* want to, and how much I want to spend
<4> big macs, are way better
<6> roflmao
<4> stop it
<4> no aol slang, just proves your a windows user aim, aol using newbie
<4> stop
<4> your not really laughing out loud and rolling on the floor if you are, your a geek, and have no life
<6> I like Windows. :O
<0> meelk, if there isnt enough thermal paste on the top of the cpu, woudl that cause the reset?
<6> You had a bad day hm bigs? :
<4> no
<4> i hate aol slang
<4> it sounds gay
<6> lmfao really?
<6> ;P
<4> too much time on aol?
<4> :p
<6> I actually only used AOL once, found it very ugly.
<6> Mainly use MSN Messenger.
