Micorprocessor chips have an "heat sink" glued on top that looks like series of fins>, why shaped like that?

quickest dissipation of heat - same idea as the "fins" around the pistons on a motorcycle engine

The motherboard layouts are hidden by the makers, so only their authorized engineers can know that.\n\nThe Integrated Circuit chips are in standard packages, and the pinouts are part of the the data sheet by the makers.  Most makers like TI, Sprague, Intel, Sylvania, Motorola, etc. have agreed to a common pinout for the different chips.  So, the ground and power for the chip are on the first and last pins.\n\nPulling the backup clock and bios battery for a count of ten seconds kills the setup, and reverts to factory defaults.

It could be that your motherboard can NOT accept that big of a processor.  the MB does have a limit for a front side bus as well as how big the processor it can be (when I say big, I mean in Mhz or Ghz).  Your board my not be able to take it and it shuts off due to excissive power draw.  It is also possible that you put too much thermal compound on the processor.  Too much WILL counteract the purpose of the compound and cause heat.   Also you could be mounting the heat sink wrong causing in apropreate heat transfer.

Anytime you have a "dedicated" part attached to a motherboard, you're in a better position than if you didn't have it. Shared parts utilize/leech off of other things that could work more efficiently, and therefore, effectively if they were working 100%. :)

Laptop heat sinks are usually under the machine, turn it over and there will be a grid covering the fan and heat sink.\n\nhttp://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/86247/dell-inspiron-6400.html

Instead you are using fans on CPU and Video card, you have radiator boxes with a waterflow through them.\nFurthermore there is a little container with water and a pump. Water hoses connect the pump with the radiator boxes and from there back to the container.\n\nWater Cycle: Container -> Pump -> Radiator box -> Container

what u are creating is a electronic field which in turn creates a magnetic field which is not too good for anything with silicone chips, example laptops...... it can erase ur memory or even wipe ur full laptop that will render it unuseable or worse, make the battery blow up...\nHope this helps\nGod bless

I have been building computers for several years now, and as far as I know nobody offers this package of items.\n\nIn fact at school when they taught us about installing motherboards they told us to save all extra parts, especially the stand-offs and spacers and that the Jumpers were like gold, to always keep the extras for when a computer component like a hard-drive needed another one.\n\nTo solve you problem, check with local computer repair places like BestBuy and CompUSA, they have drawers full of these items, and I get jumpers from them when I need them and they barrow what I have that they need at the time.

vertical oscillator/driver shot. shorted capacitor, or maybe transistor/ic? \nnowadays, you might as well trash it if you can get a halfway decent deal on a flat panel. or give it to your cousin who's MIT material to see if he can fix it.

I've never heard that actually, but it makes some sense. The only reason would be if your case is slightly small.. and fitting the drives in can be more difficult once you have a motherboard with processor, heatsink, and all that stuff in the way. However, most cases allow you to install the drive from the front-- making that 'rule of thumb' not right. \n\nDefinitely install the processor/heatsink and RAM modules on the mobo before installing it all inside the case-- that just makes it easier to do it!

Sounds like a couple of old 72-pin SIMMs...unless someone has a 5 year old (or older) PC they need to keep running, that memory isn't worth anything.  Personally, I glued magnetic strips to some of my old memory & use them to hold documents on my white-board at work.   :o)\n\nLooks like maybe you'd get a buck or 2 on eBay...  (see link)

That's what makes a computer (silicon computer chips)\n\nit's called "silicon" computer chip not because it's silicon but because the semi-conductors (transisters) are planted in silicon (it's just the way they build them now to make them so small)\n\nEvery computer including the one you're on, Xbox, Printers, your cellphone, even calculators, etc... anything that is computerized has that chip in it.\n\nIn your computer you can find it on the mother board, it looks like that...\nhttp://www.enviroliteracy.org/images/page-spec//silicon-chip.jpg\n---it's about the right size too.\n\nThey are used to process the information, it's like your brain. It's the brain of the computer,it tells everything what to do, that's what makes everything work!\n\nWithout them, the computers will be huge (like a city block huge) Just like the ones people first built (with a bunch of wires and crap)\n\nAt the link below, you can see various silicon computer chips...\nhttp://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?p=silicon+computer+chip&sm=Yahoo%21+Search&fr=FP-tab-img-t&toggle=1&cop=&ei=UTF-8\n\n\n\n\nAnd just a little extra for your school project...\nThis is how they make those silicone computer chips...\nI have a friend that works there, he got me one of the unfinished products (it's a shiny disk that's about the size of a waffle) It has like 100 of them on there and they cut them out with a microscopic water stream!!!...\n\nhttp://radio.weblogs.com/0105910/images/3dchip.jpg\n\nhttp://www.intel.com/education/makingchips/index.htm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCheers!!!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n.

On that motherboard the CMOS jumpers are two little silver things sticking out from one of the RAM memory sticks. I found this quote on the Internet:\n\n"\n(1) Remove the memory access panel.\n(2) Remove the sticks of memory.\n(3) I believe it is the top stick, but it may be the bottom. There are two solder points that stand out.\n(4) With a small screwdriver or other tool, short these two contacts.\n(5) Replace the memory and put the access panel back on.\n"\n\nBe careful when you do this. I do it all the time with desktop PCs, but notebooks may be a bit different.  You may need to have your battery (power) connected while you do it although that is definitely not required for a desktop PC.

Sounds like you bonked something opening it up and the power supply got messed up. I was trying to work on an old Gateway and the motherboard started to smoke :0, guess some computers weren't made to open up.

This sounds like an overheating problem, you did use heatsink compound, right! Did you reinstall O/S after swapping motherboard?

I think they have different power connectors, for different types of motherboards.

It could be a couple of problems. It could be that the processor is overheating and you might need to get a new fan or reapply the thermal glue. It could be a bad power supply or power supply cable. I don't think it is a virus for the simple fact that even the deadly boot sector viruses show signs after it does POST. I would take it into a computer tech shop or the Geek Squad and find out what they say. Good luck.
