Alright...
Recently, I've installed a new hard drive and a new CPU heatsink for my brother's computer. After we installed the heatsink(1 or 2 months ago) the computer worked fine for about a week, and after that the computer wouldn't start. We figured it was the hard drive because it was making a knocking sound, so we bought a new one and installed it. Last night while installing windows everything went fine, this morning when we booted it up everything went fine as well. However, this evening the computer won't boot windows. Usually a large silver "e" shows up on the monitor as the computer boots, but it hasn't been and the monitor gets no signal. The motherboard is getting power, and the CPU fan is spinning(The optical drives work as well). However, Windows won't boot.
I tried looking at the procedures thread, but I'm not exactly a computer genius. I tried following the steps in this post: (click) But to no avail.
Someone, please help!
