CPU is the Central Processing Unit..........the chip that makes it all
work.When you say you wiggled the wires I am thinking fan,All the other
"wires" inside should be pretty solidly attached.Take a look inside your
case while the system is running and see if the little fan on top of the
heatsink which is on top of the CPU is running..........If it is not you
have an overheat problem and need to shut down before you burn the chip
out.The good part is that these fans are fairly easy to replace....usually 4
screw one at each corner...very carefully.The you take that fan down to a
computer store and purchase one just like it in size and airflow and install
it.
While the system is shut down check all connections by lightly pushing them
back into their sockets carefully.You might have dislodged a power line to
the CD drives or the IDE cable itself which connects to the motherboard.
let us know
