When I press the power button, my computer turns off after five seconds and restarts. There is no beep or monitor output, while my monitor used to turn on in 3 seconds.
It worked properly a day ago. It stopped working properly since I opened the computer but forgot to set the CPU fan properly and the CPU temperature reached 110C and it turned off immediately. I have and ASUS P5B and a core 2 duo 6300 processor and know someone whose computer worked for days at 95C temperature with the same motherboard and CPU!
Does turning on, restarting after a 5 seconds delay, and not bringing any screen at all mean the CPU is damaged? Don't forget that the computer doesn't beep too. So every part is ok except if the parts test has not begun yet. That means a burnt CPU or motherboard. There are no smells whatsoever. Does anyone know which part is damaged? Could the motherboard get damaged in that incident and could it detect burnt CPU? Could damage to either one cause any damage to other parts?

since your computer does turn on even if it is for a measly 5 seconds, it means that your CPU is not burned but since it was exposed to such an extreme heat of 110C which is ABOVE BOILING POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, you have to remove the heat sink from your processor. then you have to take your processor out and put new thermal paste on (i recommend artic silver 5) then mount the heat sink on PROPERLY, and turn on your computer. it should work. if it doesn't i think that you have to buy a new processor because your processor is still thinking is in dangerous heat and it protects itself by shutting down.

Hi. Assuming the processor is not damaged (it may be after such a high temperature excursion) check the heatsink and CPU fan for proper operation. The Pentium chips are designed for self-protection so it may just be the fan. Try to actually see the fan by removing the side of the case. If the fan does not turn on as the computer starts, replace it. Good luck!

The CPU may well be overheating. you may attempt to repair that undertaking by way of first fixing the fan and cleaining out each thing (if that's a computing device make useful the air circulate isn't clogged with airborne dirt and dust bunnies). yet another ingredient to no longer forget is the memory. a working laptop or laptop will try this if the memory is undesirable besides. once you checked the memory and the air circulate/fan, you may attempt a sparkling CPU.
