Computer stops working after cleaning the CPU
I work as a volunteer technician, in a small company. My boss told me to clean the computer system because as he checked it, he noticed that parts of the system unit, has a lot of cob webs and needs to be cleaned, to avoid system damage.
What I did was, I disassembled the system unit; I pulled out all the parts of it and cleaned it. After I cleaned it; I assembled all the system unit parts and connected the cables it in their proper connections.
As I start the computer, when I reached the prompted screen of Windows XP, it suddenly shut down. I turned it on again and still it shuts down the computer. Even the power supply shuts down. I checked it again, but I didn’t notice any parts or damaged wire.
I am confused now and starting to worry, because I don’t want my boss say anything bad at me.
What is the problem of the computer?
My idea is that the power supply could be the problem, but I am not confident with my option.
Can anyone help me find the problem?
