I opened my pc case to do the occassional cleaning up because lately it crashed (as in screen froze and i couldnt do anything) alot after windows started up and i figured the cpu fan must be dirty. So anyway I removed the cpu + fan thing, cleaned it up with a Swiffer thing, then put it back in using the clips blablabla. After that I used a Swiffer thing on everything so there was no dust whatsoever anywhere, and closed the case.
I was extra careful with everything and im sure all cables are alright since I was gentle using the Swiffer towel thing, but when I started my pc up again I can hear fans of psu and cpu working, but nothing else works except ethernet, dvd and hard drive. The power indicator light thingy isn't working as well.
I'm afraid this has something to do with PSU as well
PC is 18 months old
cpu: athlon 9650 x4 quad
mobo: Gigabyte something don't remember
Psu: noname but decent wattage
Thx for help
edit: I forgot to mention that i had something similar in the past. When I hit the on/off switch of the psu, it did the same thing, except i could use the power button to reboot to fix it.
edit2: if all else fails, i still got guarrantee :p
edit3: service center is in Athens @#$@#$#@$@#

I'm afraid it might be something else though, because the problems you were having earlier on don't sound like overheating to me.
make sure the CPU fan is properly installed
if you dont any picture at all that is usually the RAM but that does not seem to be the case (as you didnt touch it).
mihihihih
Do you still remember the old IDE HDDs? you had to jumper them for master or slave use.
on your mainboard there are also 2 little pins with such a jumper on them. it should say clear_cmos next to it. you simply take that jumper down, press the start button and nothing will happen (that ur eyes can see) but the bios will be reset.
It could actually be that while cleaning you accidientally removed the jumper and thats the reason you cant boot.
did you wipe that off?
if u did, u need to buy some more cpu cum.. orelse it will never boot
btw, 1more day and ur geting cf unmarked! :))
but not cum lol
static + cpu = 320$ joke
That's exactly how Swiffer cloths work, using static electricity. So I'm afraid there's a big chance you messed up some component this way.
made my day
