So, I fried my computer today:
Ash...Housewares:
I'd have to agree that the best course of action is to take the CPU back out and re-seat & re-grease it.
Then, if that still doesn't work, I would say that the chances of your controls frying the CPU are pretty slim. I doubt those controls could throw enough juice through the system to smoke it. Plus, if your controls messed it up, it probably would have happened while you were playing.

AlanS17:
What encoder are you using? Are you using the caps/num/scroll lock lights?
testicle187:
You should also make sure you didn't install the heatsink/fan backwards, and if it is a newer Athlon Motherboard make sure you reconnected the extra 4 pin power connector that runs from the power supply to your motherboard.
If you google "seven beeps" for an "Amd motherboard" you should probably retry that with specific motherboard information or check your manual that came with it. Gigabyte beep codes may be different than say, Asus.
Also, make sure there is nothing blacking the fans on your CPU from rotating freely and that RAM is firmly seated in the slots.
Try all that and hopefully you can get it back up and running.

It might also be your memory, or even your graphics card. Ive had beeps and nothing comes up and its been the memory or the graphics card. If you have another computer try swapping parts until you find the culprit.

I've had errors before and have managed to fix it with a cmos reset using the jumpers on the mobo. When you boot the pc make sure your cpu fan is running. I've had my pc on and the fan not spinning a few times after a rebuild - but it would only run for a very short time an not get hot enough to do any damage.
A bit of an idea of what you swapped out would help. I can't see it having any direct relation to the control panel, but a direct relation to the swap out of parts.
