HI Everyone
I seem to have created a fault on my MoBo , My Northbridge ( I think ) chip kept getting hot ! , above 65 then my PC would switch off off , so I thought I would try and fix the problem , I removed the MoBo and took the heatsink off my CPU and the Northbridge chip and cleaned them both and re-applied thermal paste connected my MoBo up then switched on , I noticed that the HDD drive light CPU fan was running , but not the normal boot up noise like loading from the HDD .
Anyway I had look at the Mobo and I had forgot to plug in the 4 pin lead that goes into my Motherboard however when I done that the PC switched off , so I unplugged the power lead and switched it on again the fan sort of flickered on then nothing , if I unplug that 4 pin lead it will start up like I explained at the beginning of this Story ( sorry) but not load up .
I had been very,very carefull with the MoBo when I removed it .
