When i turn it back on what are the chances it will be undamaged? The system shutdown after 2 minutes and refused to be turned on again. This happened twice until i realised.

There's a chance it could be fine, but there's also a change it could be fried. Make sure you have everything hooked up. If it's fried, you will know...you will need a new one.

If you attempt to operate a CPU without heatsink at all, recent AMD CPUs will usually be permanently damaged within seconds, unless special protection circuitry is available on the motherboard. P4 CPUs will run excessively slow without cooler.

Deep fried as a chicken, most likely.
