Well, My stupid heatsink got knocked off aonemore time, and I had to take everything out. I plug everything back in, but...it doesn't boot at all!

I tried reseating memory, looked for any misplaced jumpers, checked the intergrated video card, but nothing happened.

What's wron? Oh and...mobo : PC chips M825G V9.2C...you know..the one with the CPu intergrated

So don't worry, you aint alone

I actually fried a motherboard once when I was working on it. I had a screwdriver that I accidently dropped onto the motherboard during the test period. Sparks flew and the surprise knocked me out of my seat!! Time for a new motherboard and CPU. That's right, the CPU was damaged too. Probably a surge from the short.
