Comment: Just changed heatsink and fan and now it will not boot at all. I get the initial screen showing BIOS details and checking memory and one beep. The screen also says detecting drives but I cannot get into the BIOS at all. PC was working fine but nrunning hot before heatsink and fan change. Help please ?

Reply: (edit)If all you changed was only the heatsink and fan, and the unit was running perfectly before, that's got to be your problem. Check application of thermal paste, make sure the h/sink is sitting evenly on the mountings, etc. Also while you are at it, make sure that no paste accidentally got on the CPU chipboard itself and is shorting out the contacts. I had that happen once. Reset your BIOS back to default settings. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day;
