Please log in for more thread options Last weekend I put together my new computer with water cooling using the Zalman Reserator 1 Plus. I use it to cool the CPU, VGA and Northbridge. Everything worked fine, however the next morning my girlfriend switched on the computer without starting the watercooling! After 20 minutes or so the computer switched off automatically. Probably due to overheating I guess. After that I am unable to switch on the computer again (after it has been cooled down). Nothing happens as if no electricity is present. The led on the motherboard is glowing to signal that the motherboard is having power to switch on. However pressing the (soft-on) power switch has no effect. The power supply is functioning fine in my old system. My guess is that something is broken now in the motherboard. But how to know for sure? Or is nothing broken yet and I need to 'tell' the motherboard that it is safe again to power up? I tried clearing the CMOS, but that did nothing. Okay I hope someone can tell me the magic solution or tell me with some confidence that I need to buy a new motherboard. Hardware specification: Asus A8N-E (Nforce4) AMD64 X2 3800+ (CoolNQuiet enabled) NVidia 6800 GT | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Try to test the CPU in another PC or take it to a computer shop to ask them to test it. You might need to pay a small labour fee to test your CPU. -- WebWalker email: webwalker@bluebottle.com | ||||||||||||||||

But I would expect for the power to turn on, spin up my harddisks, and make soms beeps on the speaks or audio to signal that the CPU is missing. Something like this: http://www.bioscentral.com/beepcodes/awardbeep.htm Beeps: Repeating High/Low Description: Either the CPU is not seated properly or the CPU is damaged. | ||||||||||||||||
