No Startup

URGENT (no startup)

I have recently installed a new zalman cpu fan and the computer was running fine, but after a few hours of using the computer i tried to write a cd and during the writing processed the program crashed and the cd drive would not extract the cd. i tried this another 2 times and each time the same thing happened, so i had to restart the comp each time and extract the cd on startup. after this the computer started running really slow so i shut down the pc and tried adjusting my fans to get more airflow in the case. when i tried to start the pc back up again it shut down within about two seconds before anything had appeared on the screens, but if i take the processor out the computer dosnt shut down (but obviously i get no display but the fans keep running) is the processor the problem.

I would say it is a power or heat problem before I would think the processor is at fault

Specs would help but I agree it can be a power issue, do you power the Zalman from the motherboard?

Unplug anything not needed then try to boot up. (optical drives, fans etc)

Bigger, Zalmans are huge...the problem is probably lack of/low power or the heatsink isn't seated properly
