Hello everyone,
After going 2 months since I've had my water cooling system installed I finally found the time today to installed the loop with upgrades.
Upon completion I found it just will not POST. This isn't my first rodeo but I'm stumped atm.
MY specs are
Gigabyte UD3P EP45
Intel E8400
OCZ "SLI" edition PC 6400 RAM
Crossfire Xfx HD 5770 1gb gfx
Seagate 250 GB HDD
EK Supreme HF
Swiftech MCP220
Swiftech 355
The problem is the computer powers on , all 6 phase leds light up and stay lit, no beeps, and the video card fans run 100% relentlessly.
So far I've done all the usual checks, I've tested my 12v cpu supply and without load all four rails hold @ 12.09v.
I've checked all the other obvious connections and checked connections hidden away behind the motherboard tray.
I've tried each stick of ram individually in all 4 slots.
I checked the amount of thermal paste and for safe being I cleaned it off and reapplied 2 thin lines in a cross with the vertical lines being slightly thicker.
I tore down the system and checked behind the motherboard for a short, nothing unusual. I reinstalled the waterblock retention plate while i had the motherboard out as well. I also reseated my cpu multiple times .
The motherboard manual states check cpu fan connection in the 3rd outlined troubleshooting step. So I connected the stock intel fan on a hunch and after switching on and off several times the fan won't spin which should help with a diagnosis.
It seems I can hardly get my mobo to cooperate with me after any system of hardware changes and after spending my entire sunday ion this i'm pooped and done, I'm hoping some one will have the right advice for me.
thanks,
