Need help.. new mobo not working

maxed280 · 13 Jan 2010 at 14:01

Ok heres the story.. i had a P5K green mobo that i was overclocking and one of the mosfets blew up in a flash! (vcore mosfet)

Now i replaced the mobo with a p5k premium wifi and when i push the power button nothing happens? LED's on the fans flash if im lucky but no boot, fans dont start etc.

any ideas? hope i didnt kill the CPU aswell?

thanks

Have you tried a skeleton setup outside of the case (gfx, 1 stick of memory, cpu)- resting the MB on a piece of cardboard.

This would help to rule out shorting and would whittle the problem down to just the core components if you still couldn't get it to post.

ok ive tested PSU, CPU and RAM in another pc.. all working fine.

I can now get the pc to start up WITHOUT 8-pin EATX power connected but obviously it dosnt boot.

As soon as its connected the pc wont do anything?

Ive even tested the 8pin EATX with a fan on each pin to be sure its not the power supply.

any ideas?
