Hi Lorddias
Can you open the Case and check the capacitors
Below is a link to a picture of what we are looking for.
Bad Capacitors
You need to check the whole board.
Cheers

Thanks for that. I popped it open and looked at the capacitors, and they all look fine, none of them look like the ones in that picture. None are bent, broke off, and I dont see any scratches or cracks in the motherboard.

Is the fan on the cpu working?
has he played with the cpu at all?
When you put a cpu in you must have a thermal paste between the cpu and the heat sink. Although I would expect it to get a little further before overheating.

The fan works, both the fan in the power supply and a fan thats connected to it on the inside. I took the heat sink off myself to see if that was the case, but there was no thermal paste between the cpu and the heatsink. I could see that there was some there, I could see a ring of it from where it would be on the processer to touch the heatsink. I took out the processor myself and made sure it some of the prongs were not all screwed and they was fine. However there was no thermal paste. I did turn it on though and let it run for a while restarting over and over and the heat sink didnt really get all that hot, and the fan did keep the heatsink quite cool.

I tried that, I hit the pause button like 20 times when it flashed but I couldnt get it. I'll try again later since I only tried it once, I'm pretty curious to see what error I got. Even if I cant get it, I'll let it run over and over and write down what parts of the error I get untill I get it all, I'll post again here later once I do got the error. But thanks alot for attempting to help me. If I ever get the chance I'll definitly donate some blood.
