The LED by the main 24 pin power input is on... all the fans spin up and the HDD light comes on for a little bit... I dont think its the PSU as the pump is working and the fans are still spinning... I have also just heard from OcUK and if I RMA the motherboard I'm going to have to wait forever to get another one as they are not ordering BadAxe motherboards for at least another 4 days!!!!

Do you think its the motherboard??

Do you really think a Conroe Extreme could be knackered? I thought that I would have least have gotten something from the CPU?? and I have not got a way to check it tbh... I thought that it would have displayed an error if it was not the boards, right? and I have done the BIOS thing already... any more ideas the both of you? and whats happened with your motherboard mate??

try another cpu just to rule out that the cpu is dead or not.

What buy a CPU now? waste more money??

Intel Celeron D 326 2.53GHz (LGA775) - Retail (CP-117-IN) should work in that motherboard what you guys think??

Just ordered that celeron... I will try that... I can always sell it, or what ever, I really hope its not my Extreme Chip!

Well anythings worth a try I guess.
Looks like your going to rule the CPU out with the Celeron, and I suppose if that fails it's the board.
I would always try another PSU tho, or have a DMM stuck in one of the molex connectors thus.

Also give the stock cooler a go as it looks like your using water and it might need something on the cooler header on the mobo.
Not seen this for ages, but some mobos don't boot as they think the fans failed.

BTW, do you have the online manual <Right Click Save Target As.....

Thanks for the manual will give it a go... its a right pain in the ****!

Hi Simon, do you still have the Yonah setup?

also do you have an ES6700 or is the sig the planned upgrade?

Yes I'm interested in that as well

Yonah is long gone after i blew the mobo. Shame cos it was a nice setup apart from lacking raid.

The Conroe is awaited - had very bad luck trying to get an ES (nearly lost a small fortune trying - thankfully, despite many threads i have read, paypal were excelent and got me all my monies back - phew)

TBH i'm nearly at the point of having had enough re-conroe... the wait has been very painfull.

Currently using an 805 at 3.6Ghz to tide me over. But the new case is installed and running - although its compact and the CPU temps are up the chipset temps are lower than in my Stacker. have to say this Zalman case is the dogs

Thanks for the update mate

I can see it now, Stelly dragging himself across the carpet to press the Print Screen button before collapsing on his computer case

Looking at my sig all I have got at the moment is the memory, TFT and watercooling kit I want 6600, I want my Bad Axe, I want whatever else I ordered but can't remember what it is!

Thats it it, going to play with my etch-a-sketch now.

you never know this might actually happen
