during my Athlon XP days I just used a thin layer on the core and a thin layer on the HS
Always worked fine for me

A core is a little different, both in surface area and pcb overlay.
A chip will just... seap ?
I like this word seap.

I've never had any problems with this "seapage" (that sounds better "seeeeaaaapage") Sounds like something that old dears get with incontinence pants 
I've used my method on CPUs, GPUs, N/Bridge chips and RAM chips. If you do a good clean job you get a very VERY thin layer of AS. I reckon you could read a newspaper through it.

i think that he meens that if you put two mutch thermal paste onto the chip when you put the hs on the paste will get pushed off the chip onto the pcb like when you try and eat a custard slice

I had a problem a tad similar to this once and it ended up being my IDE cable, go figure right? It doesnt make much sense that an IDE cable would stop the whole bloody board from even posting or doing a lick of anything but I swear after I changed the cable it worked... Hell you may not even have anything hooked up via IDE, just SATA i suppose while trying to get it to POST?

As i said before, i had nothing pulged into the board but essentials.
Connectors wise 24pin ATX, 4pin 'p4' and 6pin pci-e power. Graphics card and its dvi connector.
Fingers crossed its not fried anything else.
If llwyds RMA goes though ill have the replacement off him (seeing as im the 1 rmaing the bloody thing).

Yeah - I've seen PC's fail to turn on due to the floppy cable being plugged in upside down!
