How were you cleaning the system's heatsinks? If you unscrewed any of the screws that hold the heatsync to the CPU (that's any screw), then you may have seperated the CPU from the heatsync and could have fried the CPU. Or, if you have good luck, you might just have unplugged the CPU, in which case, the fix is easier.

Please let us know what you did regarding the "cleaning" activity.

I did remove the heatsink from the cpu but i dont think this will be the problem bacause if the cpu did fry due the heat problems then the computer would have turned on for a few seconds/minutes. and also the springs on the screw does not let the heatsink from easily detached from the cpu...
