Help, removed processer chip from dell 5100 and now it wont boot.

Help, removed processer chip from dell 5100 and now when it boots it says that i had a heating error and to press f1 to conitune or f2 to go to the boot menu. but after about 15 seconds after booting, the fans go on high and then the system shuts down. when i feel the chip it is scholrling hot. sorry for the spelling mistakes but i am in a panic

 

You removed the CPU?
When you reinstalled it you did clean off the old thermal pad/paste material and then reapplied new?

I would suggest removing the HSF & reapply thermal material, maybe didnt get it seated properly the last time

Hopefully you havent already dammaged the CPU.

I hope you do have a heatsink on the cpu, are you removing the heatsink to feel how hot the cpu is?

 

umm, kit was kinda a false alarm, the heat sic was on backwards i feel stupid

 

We all learn, sometimes the hard way, glad you got it fixed. ed
