My computer can't start properly!

Ok, this is what's going on:
Today I bought a new Zalman CPU-cooler and after I had installed it, everything except the screen, mouse, keyboard and sound worked properly. The lights on the CD-drives are constantly alight and tha harddrive indicator lamp is glowing like hell too!

Is my motherboard broken or is this a problem which can be solved without changing the motherboard?

Try reverting to the old heatsink and fan. See if that still works so we can narrow the problem.

I've tried that but the problem remains
