I have recently just installed a water block for my mobo, so that ment unscrewing my mobo etc to install the block. Everything was working fine before I installed the block. Now my mobo wont startup, all I get is 4 led's on the bottom lit up and nothing else happens?

What does 4 led's mean?

Please help!!!

Its not the power supply. Thats 620w!

Why do I get a feeling my mobo is dead. . .

I wish I knew what the 4 led's ment :confused:

4 LEDS means system startup according to page 67 of the manual, 3 means cpu detected, 2=DRAM detected and 1 is VGA detected.

I have never experienced like this before, I really think its dead. TBH I think im just gonna buy the Expert mobo.

4 LED's is cpu error

Thing is, before I took the motherboard out my cpu had been priming for 16+ hours and all was fine.

tried the Hard Cmos reset?

Yeah twice. I think I must have damaged something taking it out. It will teach me to be more careful in future. :mad:

Just gonna have to buy the Expert now to replace it, fortunately I have just been paid.

I dont think the expert is worth the premium imo.

why dont you clock the 170 more, i see your volts are very low? why not 3ghz at say 1.5v?

I will give it a go. Have to order my new motherboard first
