Hey all,

I purchased a prebuilt system from OC (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-177-OE). It's already been RMA'd once (some form of cold boot issue). I was sitting using it earlier (had been on for a few hours) when it suddenly just died. When I plug power in the power light on the front display flickers and the green motherboard light comes on. However, it won't boot - press the power button and nothing at all happens.

I'm guessing from reading these forums it may be the motherboard (P8P67 Pro seems to be causing a lot of issues!). Now I'm not very technical (can swap cards, drives etc but not much more) but I've followed a few things on the forum - reset CMOS, unplugged/plugged power connectors and shorted the power button connector on the board - but no difference - that's about the limit of my abilities!

Is there anything else I can easily try or test, or is it looking like another RMA again?

Thanks
 
Nope, no lights except the green one on the motherboard and no fans. I assumed the green one meant that some power was getting through though.

Thanks
 
Sadly mate im going with its RMA time again...

Other than pulling the cmos battery out for 5 mins im not going to make you unplug it all etc as its not fair for you to do that.
