The contact is just localized at the middle portion(where i applied the thermal paste). I then removed the paste, reapplied a new one, and then spread it with a credit card as thin as possible.

EUREKA! there was around ~.8mm gap between the heatsink and chip.
It's all because of this:
That brown knot isn't supposed to be there. It should've been placed at the back of the board holding the screw w/ spring. I misplaced it.
As always,
SALAMAT ISTORYANS!
My computer doesn't have any problem beforehand. I cleaned my CPU, MOBO and GPU today because too many dust accumulated already. Until this problem came in.
Here's my CPU spec:
AMD Phenom II X2 555BE
Asrock 880GM-LE
1GB Inno3D Nvidia GTS450 DDR5
2GB Kingston ddr3 RAM
FSP Supersonic 550w 80PLUS
My video card:
Here's the problem:
Power-on self-test (POST) recognizes my GPU.
But right after POST, video card fan makes this very loud spinning noise. It's spinning so fast.
And right after, computer keeps on restarting. I can't boot at all.
Tabang istoryans!
Thanks
