Hello,
I recently completed my first build with the following specs:
Intel i7 920
Noctua NH-D14
3x2GB Corsair DDR3
XFX HD5870 1GB
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB
As P6X58D-E
Everything was working absolutely fine and I was at 4GHz at nice low temps of 70C max under Linx with voltages not far from stock.
I noticed however that if left alone while running Linx for some reason Windows would put the machine to sleep and I would get a BSOD with INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR. I read online that this code may be to do with the hibernation file on the machine being too small and so an error occurs when saving the contents of RAM (nearly full as testing with Linx - ALL) to hard disk. I also read it could be a RAM error.
I ran Memtest86+ overnight with all 3 modules installed and received no errors. I then did a Chkdsk to make sure the hard disk was okay after having power terminated a couple times (BSODs) and made the mistake of leaving it running when I went to sleep.
I returned and the machine was in sleep mode (I assume after having finished Chkdsk) and would not wake up.
I then had the following problem:
The machine would not POST at all. The motherboard light comes on, the memory light comes on, the fans spin, etc but there are no beeps whatsover and no signal to monitor.
I disconnected components one by one and still had nothing. By resetting the CMOS I got it to beep properly indicating no memory and then no video card. After connecting everything back up I had the same problem of no POST.
I have since discovered that it boots okay as long as I reset the CMOS. Otherwise it just sits there and won't post.
Is it possible the battery is dead/dying? I am hopeful this might be the case as it would obviously be an easy fix.
Thanks for taking the time to read and I would greatly appreciate any advice.
