My G3 233 AIO stopped working today, I put a new heatsink/fan on it and after that its stopped working i tried ram, reset board, checked power, checked all the connections still no CHIME or Screen that loads. The system turns on but no post. NEED HELP!!!
 
Before you panic:

1) Make really sure you have the CPU and heatsink properly installed.

2) Replace the PRAM battery. I believe it is a 1/2AA 3.6V Lithium.

Open it back up and make sureyou didn't pull the processor out just a tiny bit. make sure its down in there all the way.
 
Take off the heatsink & inspect the core. On Athlon XP CPUs a CPU is more often killed by cracking or chipping the die than over volting it in the Overclocking world. If the die has been damaged than your CPU is dead.
