System upgrade Disaster...

There I was setting up the new mainboard with the new ram and such when i thought I had done everything right, I flipped the switch it briefly came up; and suddenly went off with brief smell of a flash fried CPU. Yep I fried my my CPU, I forgot to apply the thermal paste. now after waiting to put the mainboard into operation for two month I now have to wait until I get enough to buy a new CPU. At least I have Most of everything Iwant to put into this new pet. So now I make do with this underpowered ancient laptop.
