A New Hope?

Well, I just talked with my uncle, and he says that maybe the CPU just fell out of its socket since the heatsink I have on their is heavy. For everyones sake, I hope its just a simple matter of pushing the CPU back in...:glazed:

 

Check your connections for RAM and otherwise. Verify everything inside is kosher, there's a few reasons why sh*t can come lose. Re-check and verify everything. The good news is if your HDD was f*cked your computer would still go through it's POST proceedure and get as far as trying to find the OS before it sh*ts itself. It sounds like your uncle is on to something. Verify your power connections to the mobo, that your ram is installed correctly, check the seating on your Processor (which sounds a little odd to me seeing as it's locked into place via a clamping bar in the first place). Check your video card as well, make sure its sitting right in its socket. Do your HDDs spin and access at all like it's doing a regular start up, despite the screen? Drop me a line bro. You know where to find me.
