Hi guys,
Dont know if im posting in the right area here, but heres the issue.
When i load my machine it boots and then reboots about 3 seconds later, the reboot then shows post and the machine loads up fine no problems.
After a very silly cold night, i.e. -5 outside and i leave my window open all night. I wake up to a freezing cold room, but also a computer which turns on and CPU fan doesnt go at all.
Also the boot then reboot sequence dissapeared and now it just hangs there, no POST displayed on screen and screen is staying in standby.
I tore out the GPU (8800GTS 640Mb Ed) and the Soundcard (X-Fi Xtre Music) and reset the CMOS jumper.
This enabled me to boot the machine with the 3 second reboot and the cpu fan was running fine. BUT Still no POST? Screen still in standby.
I have tried switching power switch off at the PSU (OCZ Stealth X Stream 600W) and leaving it for about 10 mins then switching back on, but still no joy.
Any help would be appreciated thanks.
Abit IP35 P35 Motherbord
Intel Q6600 2.4Ghz CPU (Non-OC - Stock cooler)
8800GTS 640Mb Edition
2Gb of Corsair DDR2 PC6400C4
OCZ StealthXStream 600W PSU
DIsplay is a Dell 2407WFP
Also note, the machine has been running fine since its build in august with many stress tests.
Thanks

EDIT : After letting it hang unposted for about 20 mins there, i pressed the reset button and away it went with CMOS defaults loaded.
Sods law, must have been too cold for her, is that possible? or could it have been some sort of condensation?
