Hello thanks for looking.

Here's my problem: Machine has been misbehaving recently, runs 100%
then during 3d action, bluescreen (not BSOD) some noises and stops
working. Found that there was a CPU overheat. Reseated/cleaned
everything and dropped the temp down by 10 deg. and all was well. That
was last night, today it wont post. Everything spins/lights up
including keyboard. Funny thing is the monitor now displays the mobo
bootup graphic (never seen it before..) and then nothing, just a cursor
on a blank screen. There are no post beeps whatsoever. here are my
specs:

P4C 800
3.4 Prescott 512 cache
1 Gig Twinmos DC
Radeon 9800 Pro
160 Samsung SATA Raid
Audigy 2
XP Pro

I got into the bios and everything is present and looks healthy. I'm at
a loss. Can anyone shed any light on this.

thanks for any help
 
recheck your work on the Heatsink
Have you seen a 'checksum error' on bootup?
clear the CMOS using the jumper on the mainboard(RTM).
also check the wafer battery
prescotts are NOTORIOUS for heat problems make sure your Box is venting
properly, leave the side of the case off for now.
