Good Evening,
I've recently built a new gaming machine with Rampage II Extreme, i7 930, 12Gb of Ram & 2 SLI 250GTS.
I noticed that my North Bridge was getting high temp readings (55C) and descided to fit a Spot Cool. The PC was fine but as soon as I fitted the cooler and turned it on....nothing
The Drives Started Running, the Screen Blank as if no connection, no beeps & both the Power & IDE led's were dead on.
I went through all feeds & forums, tried everything even dismantling & re-fitting everything.. nothing.
Thing is that I can't reset the PC. I have to turn off the Power to shut down. Its as if the reset button or signal isn't functionning. I tried it with the on-board buttons... same thing.
The LCD Poster Said Welcome each time but never turned on the backlight, it turned into a counter and that's it. Tried Debug Mode nothing happened.
Now I have a 1000W PSU with a High Standard and this has never happened before. Could it be that the spot cool shorted out something or am I just plain unlucky and the board died.
I really tried everything, thing I noticed though was that all the LED's on the Board were amber but I never overclocked it. Also even without any drive the LED was always on.
Any Ideas?? I've been building pc's for ages and never came up with something similar ? I really appreciate your help !!
