computer problems?
Right, well I bought a new cooler the other day and fitted, all seemed to be fine running cool until my computer just froze after about 5 minutes. It did this at varying times throughout the night, but I never got more than 10minutes of ontime before I had to restart. Now this morning my monitor just reads no signal, the computer seems to turn on but theres no picture. Ive reseated the graphics card and it looks fine, anyone got any ideas?

Hmm Sometimes voltage problem does make the pc gets stuck. I have the problem at my house but not cause of a.c. its cause of a simple tube light. Change the switch and start if it won't work then make a fresh installation of windows. Cheers
If got you right, everything went well after your installation of the new hardware five minutes later it frooze. That is aproximatelly the time the processor can suvive when over heating and if your BIOS is not set to shut the computer one a certain temperature level is exceded, owwww your processor is gone.
You can have close look on your fittings of that cooler you might fine the loop hole. If you have another computer with the same processor socket test it their and see if it works.
And also try to take it back the way it was before. If it doesnt work you might have lost CPU chip.
You may have moved or loosened some other card on the board , open up and recheck all , is the psu strong enough for the extra load of the cooler ?
Every once and a while, a computer ships with one of its chips, often the most complex chip (like the CPU or GPU), containing a small hardware or firmware bug which manifests itself irregularly and causes system crashes.
Your problem is not fixable by anyone but a professional and then probably only by replacing several expensive parts.
I hope you got a warranty.
Use heat sink paste inbetween the heatsink and the processor.
