The CPU isn't fired... I just over "goopified" the core with thermal paste. The burning smell is gone and the system powers up. Lights come on and fans whirr it acts like it's working but I'm not getting any display. The monitor is hooked up to the video card but I have it seated in nice and snug. About the paste - there was only a small burnt spot on the heatsink and no damage to the CPU core - it looked pristine. Helpful?
