That site distributes a fatal virus. It's punishment to idiots looking for piracy.

How do you get to the internet on a DEAD computer, I get nothing at all when I hit power, then it turns off and on, off for longer, I'm thinking the CPU is overheating, cooling, then trying to boot again.  Do I need a new cooler, or what?  I think it probably gotten to POST if the CPU died.

Did you get more Thermal Dye or whatever and apply it to the processor?
That's what just fixed my Gateway M675PRR laptop after it wouldn't stop turning on/off.

Yes, Arctic Silver 5.  I'll see if I get better transfer tomorrow.

Is the CPU fan plugged in?

[Marcem]

Yeah, I see it spin.

[Reactor Worker]

The computer should still boot even without thermal paste.

Have you checked to make sure the CPU is properly seated in the socket? Are any of the pins bent?

[Marcem]

It was in correctly.
