The problem you've got now is that you probably need some extra hardware to troubleshoot. Do you have a friend with a computer you could try some of your hardware in?
I'd be leary of trying a possibly bad psu in another system though. To be honest, if your heatsink wasn't seated properly you could have a bad cpu. They are supposed to have circuitry that keeps them from frying, but I wouldn't count on it. The only way to know exactly which part is causing the problem is to have spares to swap in or out. Unfortunately, there's a good chance that if EVGA thinks it's the cpu it could actually be the cpu. It's generally not a good idea to throw good money after bad, but there are some pretty inexpensive socket 775 cpu's out there that you could pick up for troubleshooting purposes, although if something else caused the cpu to fry you could end up doing the same thing to a new one.
