psychas · 26 Feb 2008 at 20:54

Well heres how the story goes bought p5k deluxe lapped q6600 b3 installed everything back back started the pc it ran for like 1 minute but the screen was black so i checked everything out, took everything out connected back everything outside the case (benchmarking position) still the same.

So eventually i thought my cpu was gone for some reason. or maybe the mob was faulty tried with but i tried with old mob and it still was the same. so new motherboard was kk if it was not it would worked on old one.

So i bough new q6600 g0 x38 maximus formula two 3870xt.

everything just arrived few hours before.
So i installed everything and hit the power button and i could not believe it ran for 1 min / 30 sec screen is black and it reboots it self and goes in a loops.

What it could be why it does that ? got really annoyed

*banging my head against the wall *

Please help as i don't know what to do anymore

2 things left hardrive or psu

edit: i cant even see bios and bios is in the motherboard so can you boot bios without hardrive?

psychas · 26 Feb 2008 at 22:19

psychas · 26 Feb 2008 at 23:47

chassis on default clrtc_sw is on enable when i took pci1 and pci2 power supply power connectors from graphics card i did not get long beep

psu is ocz 700w

lcd panel shows: cpu init

psychas · 26 Feb 2008 at 23:58

i did that before was the same thing.

what does it mean cpu init on lcd screen ?

psychas · 27 Feb 2008 at 00:09

crltc_sw is on disable everything is connected still does the same thing and lcd displays cpu init.

could it be that i pulled cpu power connector and now it does not give power to cpu ?

psychas · 27 Feb 2008 at 00:16

it goes to 2.2 v so should i put 1.9 or 1.8 ?

psychas · 27 Feb 2008 at 15:22
