Cannot start or get into BIOS anymore, no screen anymore, Asus P5GD1 Proactive

Hi DGK
In your case, was the CPU and the motherboard (BIOS ??) defect or was
it only the CPU?
By the way, the vendor off the motherboard said that I may replace the
motherboard with a new one. I hope everything is solved then.

In my case I just had the heat sink on wrong. I actually bronzed the
Arctic Silver. Nothing was wrong with the MB though. I took the cpu
back to the vendor (it was a two day PC Fair and I took it back the
second day), said it was my fault, and they gave me another one
anyway. I bought a lot of stuff from them after that.
