I have a suggestion...a longshot, but a suggestion. Make sure the heatsink is intalled
on top of the processor in the right direction. There is usually a ridge on the
bottom that is supposed to line up with the ridge next to the processor. After flipping
the heatsink 180 degrees, my computer worked just fine. I have seen this problem
in 2 computers now...and flipping the heat sink seemed to fix it. Hope this helps.
