Hi all,
Am having a bit of a problem with my new build. Every so often it will boot up with no problem at all (usually this happens once it's been left for an hour or overnight), however for the most part it refuses to do so. All fans will spin, the HDD LED will light up, but no power light shows up, the monitor will stay on standby and the mobo doesn't beep (which it does do when it's fine).
This is an upgrade and specs are as follows:
Intel Core 2 Duo E2180,
Asus P5KC Combo Intel P35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 & DDR3 Motherboard,
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit,
Enermax Noisetaker 600w (left over from old build),
Asus GeForce EN8800 GT 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express),
Samsung SpinPoint S 160GB SATA-II 8MB Cache
Not had the chance to OC yet (and is still running on stock cooler), but RAM has been set to 2.1v 4-4-4-12.
Things i've tried:
* Various RAM configurations - 1 stick, 2 sticks, different slots etc
* X800 in place of 8800gt
* Placing 8800 in different PCI-E slot
* Cleared CMOS
* Checking all power connections
* Reseating mobo incase of short
* Letting mobo choose memory defaults
Any ideas what the problem might be or different things to try? When the machine is running it's great, no problems at all!
I'm thinking motherboard or PSU issue. I don't have a spare mobo or PSU but have tried the PSU in my old machine (Socket 939 / Single core AMD64 / 1gb 3200 / X800) and it works without problems.
Any ideas / advice would be great!
Cheers for your time
