try heating it on for 10 mins w/out the fan and then let it get the 2 red lights and then let it cool for 15 mins and see if it works.

if it does work plug everything back in and assemble it back together.

Adjust the screws and stop ****ing overheating it god damn it.

When you over heat it you morph(bend) the motherboard thus ****ing yourself in the *** even deeper.

Do the clamp fix over, let it heat for 10 TEN ONLY! Minutes. Then let it COOL off for 20-30minutes. Then put an extra fan or something else up to it with the case open to help cool it more, and turn it on.

It should work.

If you havent ****ed it up too badly already.

Should try reapplying the thermal paste.

You shouldn't need to overheat it if you have the correct paste.
