Here buy this one,

http://www.futuratic.com/Intel%20P4%20541%2032GHz%20-%202.htm

It said that there was already one version installed.JubJub4321

dony worry about the bios anymore, the hard drive is ok.

my dad wanted to use a wire and twist it through the 4 attach holes on the heatsink base attached to the motherboard and over the heatsink though I don't know of any wires malleable enough and thick enough to fit and firmly press it down. I just bought thermal paste. Buying this kind of heat sink is what were worried about : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186134 http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowImage.aspx?Image=35-186-134-01.jpg%2c35-186-134-02.jpg%2c35-186-134-03.jpg%2c35-186-134-04.jpg&CurImage=35-186-134-02.jpg&Depa=0&Description=ARCTIC+COOLING+Freezer+7+Pro+92mm+CPU+Cooler+-+Retail
It doesn't look like the kind we had that attached using a clip but it looks like it attaches onto the motherboard somehow with those screws on the heatsinks base. Here's what my heatsink attaches too http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/3765/picture23118jan04co4.jpg

And the sink itself minus the clip : http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/4803/picture20207jan04or6.jpg

If you have that kind of bracket with the 4 attach holes Like this

its probably a 478 and this fan is for 775

I dont think it would fit. (if your going to buy a new hsf i think you should atleast remove the processor and make sure what kind it is, If it has pin = 478, if theres no pins its a 775)

You could probably find some wire at the hardware store, Probably even buy it buy the foot.

judging by the picture you linked to im 99% sure you have a 478.

Dont use plastic zipties or anything else plastic to hold the heatsink on, it might be ok for a while but in time the heat might make it loose or even break and fall off.

I think you should probably take the whole thing to a repair shop.

Or a friend would be better if you know someone.

You might have just forgot to plug the vidoe cards power connector back in, If it has one and that was one of the wires you took out.

i tried is and its not the cpu chip it was the cpy fan and heat stick because the old one stop workingsolidsnake2291

So all you did was remove the old fan and put a new one on, and you didn't touch anything else?

So you tried to install a new processor and it doesn't work anymore?

Maybe you just got it set up wrong,

or you could always try your old cpu.

no this is how it all want wrong last week when i tried to upgrade:cry:solidsnake2291

Is there anything else you would like to add to this story?
