How much Artic silver did you put on the hs? Too much heat sink paste actually acts like a thermal barrier causing the chip to overheat.

I have a P5GD2 Deluxe MOBO and when i turn it on all i get is a message about CPU overheating. I have replaced PSU and Reseated CPU and cleaned HSU prior to putting on artic silver. Before it used to boot ok then reset at windows then voice message started . Now i cannot even get past voice message to try and update Bios. The Mobo is about 2yrs old and i am not sure what to do.

I put just a little bit in middle of cpu as i know it spreads under pressure.
