How can a heatsink need to be replaced? Just brush it off? Anyway, if it was cooking the socket probably got messed up and you know what that means.
Just check all connections again, maybe the button battery, make sure something isn't grounding the board out on the back plane? GL!

I cleaned it, but the CPU heatsink was so dirty I had to replace it. After replacing, the damn machine won't POST. It POSTs as far as 6.1 (could be b.1) on my POST card. I've swapped out RAM and CPU (both of which test fine on another board). Any ideas short of replacing the board? T
