Did you smell anything burning?
How long did you leave it turned on without a heatsink?
What cpu is it?

Take the cpu out of the board, look on the back, at the pins and see if you can see any scorch marks (i.e. black pins). Also check the socket on the motherboard.

[DarkClown12]

no black marks just checked

No signal input on the monitor would suggest lack of a graphics card rather than CPU. What other components are in the system you're trying to test?

[Marius24]

the monitor still says no signal input

doesn't that have something to do with graphic cards? :unsure:

Ya it does...hes been talking to me on aim...

He has no post, but he gets power to the rig.

Hes reset the cmos and it still wont boot to nething or go to the BIOS.

[DarkClown12]

It has aradeon 7000 in it and i know it is hooked properly

Did you remove the power cord before clearing cmos? Even standby power to the mobo will be enough to keep the bios settings.

Remove the power cord, press the power switch (to remove any remaining power in the PS) then put the jumper to cmos clear position for at least 10 seconds.

[DarkClown12]

tried that still no bios coming up
