697764 2008-08-17 09:26:00 The Retention hooks as speedy posted are for socket 478, BUT your CPU may be AMD, which uses a different clip arrangement.

The clips pictured before in post 34 "look" like Retention clips, but may not be CPU clips- take another look at the CPU heat sink, does it feel like its on solid, and also look at This Picture (www.imagef1.net.nz) look where the arrow is pointing, is that a clip that runs inside the heat sink from one side to the other ?

697765 2008-08-17 09:34:00 The Retention mechanism hook look identical from the picture and the Clip frame latches are broken...so that is probably why it was just laying inside near it. Where you have the arrow it says 2A7.

Maybe I could pay the item and shipping cost? Do you think it is just that? I know I need to add more memory but other than that do you think it is just because the heatsink is not on there securely?

697770 2008-08-17 09:48:00 Yup its probably overheating - the system will shut down even if you did get it to go. Until its fixed.

It needs the heatsink, thermal paste, and the fan

697771 2008-08-17 09:50:00 Any suggestions on what site is reasonable and reputable? puffins808 (14043)
697772 2008-08-17 09:56:00 If the clip frame latch is broken but the retention mechanism is OK (on the motherboard, like the pic I posted, (the 2nd pic)and its still got the 4 squares on all sides.

Then all you have to do is buy another fan, which should come with the heatsink and the clip frame (the bit that gets clipped onto the retention mechanism on the mobo

Then its all go
