STRANGE problem...

Right behind you.
This is odd.
Some of you may know that a few days ago Thermaltake sent me their Polo 735 HS/F cooler. I would LOVE to review it, If my computer worked.
It will start up, then die. Within a matter of seconds, it will shut itself off. I replaced the HS/F i originally had, to no avail. I replaced ALL of the parts with spares and back, and still, no luck. I eventually figured out that if I switch the jumper on my mobo to the fail safe setting, It will boot 1/5 or so of the time. Because of this, the memory timings are very low and the CPU is WAYY underclocked.
If I do manage to get into windows under these settings, I have to be careful. If I push the cpu at all, It will shut down. 10 seconds into halo, shut down. Music for awhile? shut down. No error messages, just a startling "beeoooooooooo" as the power cuts off.
When it DOES cut off, I have to COMPLETELY cut power off the the PC before it will start again. That is, I have to switch off the PSU, then on again, or switch off the Surge protector, then on again.
All of this happened the first time i booted up after installing the polo 735. Nothing strange or out of the ordinary happend to make me think otherwise about why it's doing this.
I can't tell if its a damaged PSU, bad CMOS, or a bad HS/F application causing overheating. But I did it correctly; the paste is even, the Heatsink is latched on tight and the fan is running fast and cool. Any suggestions?

Either that or you damaged your CPU some how.
I hope TO GOD its not the CPU. The paste was applied as a thin translucent layer, not glooping all over the place. I dunno.
Try another videocard if you have. I have had similar to this before and the videocard was the answer. Don't ask me why though.
Alomst, verselly. The polo 735 seemed to clip on Tightly, but i guess not. I replaced with my old hs/f again, and it stopped.
Weird.
heh, heh; well at least problem is solved.
I had the same prob. when I was building a new comp for my parents. The damn machine absolutely would not start, and when it did it made long beeping sounds. After reseating the CPU and heatsink at least 5 times, everything was working smoothly :bringit:
