Problem after reapplying thermal paste on heat sink
I'm trying to keep this old 14z 5423 going. But after cleaning the fan and reapplying the thermal paste I was rewarded with the 7 beep code. I believe this signals a cpu issue.
Can anyone let me know where I may have gone wrong? (besides trying to save this antique)
Thanks

I decided to believe the error code telling me the CPU was cooked. Luckily I had a spare mother board that I replaced it with. It came up with a different error code about the CMOS battery. I swapped the battery off the board with the bad CPU. Every thing is working fine.
