I have my 8800GTX as well as my 2GB RAM sitting in my computer, but that doesn't matter right now as I am going to have to wait till tomorrow before I can get it running.
Somehow, I can't figure out, the heatsink on my CPU got disconnected halfway as I was installing the hardware and the thermal grease got all f***ed up, now when I try to run my computer the temps on my CPU rise as high to automatically shut down my computer. Naturally I don't have any thermal grease onhand, looks like I am going to have to wait till tomorrow after I get off work and I'm going to have to run to Microcenter or someplace and buy some AC5.
I know your supossed to use isopropyl alcohol to remove the current stuff, but would any sterilizing pads with isopropyl work? Or should I buy something else to use?
Right now I'm on my step-dad's computer looking at my computer, there has been so many delays and finally to get it in my hands and still have to wait another day, even worse I can't use my computer at all till I fix this.
