So plugged it on after move. The motherboard has power lights on but when i hit the power button nothing happens.
Have tried a different power lead, different plug just in case
Have checked that the on switch on the power supply is 1 not 0
The pc was not knocked during the move. Was in the back of a small van for about 4 minutes, didn't move and inch (watched it from the passangers seat, slow drive, very flat, no bumps)
2) I carried it to and from the van at both end of the journey and it was picked up normally and placed down very gently. Only movement really will have been vibration in the van and the slight knock of it being placed on the floor (very slight)
I opened it up and checked all relevant connections (power switch to mobo, main power to mobo, cpu power etc)
Check nothing was displaced at all, cpu, cpu cooler, ram etc. Not even the cables that were loosly held in the case had moved and nothing was even slighly loose.
Checked that there were no loose screws etc or anything like that rattleing about in the case that could have shorted it (I checked this when I built it but though it would re check, nothing wrong here)
As far as I can tell, the case was in no way knocked and the only movement was bwing picked up twice and put down twice gently, nothing is loose at all, the issue IS to do with the pc not the power at the new location in any way or the power lead in any way.
Only oddity I have ever noticed, or about the first 4 - 5 days after building it, when it started it up, the power would come on , fans would spin, leds come on for all for about 1.5 - 2 seconds, then would all go off again for about 2 seconds then start up again normally. Since that first 4 - 5 days period I never noticed it happening again.
Having been looking at the temps a lot (being a new build n all) the hottest it has run is
cpu 68 under load
mobo hottest temp about 55
gpu 90 (but its a 8800gtx, can run this hot witohut issue and has done so fine for over 2 years)
Specs
new components
Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz @ 4.00GHz
Gigabyte EX58-UD5 Intel X58 Motherboard
Patriot Viper 6GB DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz DDR3
Antec 1200 Twelve Hundred
components I already had (about 2 years old)
BFG 8800gtx
Segate 500gb hdd and 2 x Segate 250gb hdds
dvd drive
BFG 1000watt psu
Conclusions
Either some sort of insain coincidence where the power supply was on its way out and just happen to finally die the first time it was turn on here (I really doubt it)
Or, some internal connection based issue caused by 2 very light pick ups and put downs or 3 - 4 minutes of engine vibration.
I am really confused and amazingly *****d off as it has not been mall treated even slighly and I can find nothing what so ever thats wrong anywhere!!!
Has anyone ever experienced something like this or can think of something I havent checked because I'm done and am seriously confused!
Cheers Guys
