Thanks for the reply Ken, I did as you described, but no fix even with new thermal paste im afraid... :( Still showing 08.

Specs:Intel DZ68BC Desktop board Intel Quad 1600k CPU and supplied CPU fan Antec 500W Integrated graphics (for the moment!) Kingston 8GB RAM 5 case fans Hey everyone, this was my first computer build and everything worked fine, got it built in 6 hours and windows installed. CPU temp was running at 85C though, so decided to take a look, removed fan and all seemed fine so was reinstalled. But now it wont boot... Status code on the MB sticks on 08 (Starting BIOS execution after CPU BIST) and I dont get any display to the monitor however all of the case power is working prefectly as before. Any help would be greatly appreciated! James
