Computer motherboard problem?
Alright, so I purchased a cpu fan, which I had to remove the motherboard in order to install. After all the hassle of unplugging and replugging everything, I was successfully able to install the fan. However now my computer doesn't load anything when I turn it on; it simply gives me a blank screen. I had popped out the processor chip to look at when I took the motherboard out if that makes a difference. After it stopped working, I took the fan off, and then tried to turn it on, but this time it gave me a blank screen and then started to beep. I need to know whether or not I killed my motherboard or something else so I can get it replaced asap. thanks.

you probably caused some kind of damage to the mother board you may have done it not even realizing or you may have not hooked everything up right i would try to flash the bios using the jumper before i ran out and bought a new one if your anyhting like me you dont wanna spend cash you could use for something else it sounds like to me its the mother board though definatly

If it beeped then probably it's OK. Check if everything is well connected, especially the video card. Check for the Beep Codes for your motherboard, that should help you to identify the error.
Are the fans running?
Also never turn your computer on if the processor has no fan, you could fry it (but probably not).
