Hello all I'm new to the forums so please be gentle.
Here goes:
OK I built my own PC for the first time about 3-4 months ago and the hardware install was actually quite good. My system is:
Asus p8z77-v
Nvidia GTX 670FTW
i5-3570K
PC Power and Cooling Silencer mk III 750W
Sammy 840PRO
GSkill Ripjaws 8Gig x2
Toshiba 2TB HDD
Corsair H100i
Now, my system was running great but for the big mistake that I made in installing the WiFiGO! hardware on the MB. This was a highly suspect piece of hardware for me from the start as I know Google and the DOD love to pirate your info and file it for future prosecution for walking across the street. that's neither here nor there, but I installed the thing and deleted the software I could find for it, HOWEVER, I kept seeing it showing up using my bandwidth even after deleting it's software.
I finally got pissed and powered off, let the power dissipate from the MB and took a screwdriver to the insides of the WiFiGO module. I turned that bastard into alphabet soup, but now my PC won't power on.
I've tried to jump the power prongs and nadda results. The MB power light comes on and all seems fine other than no POST.
Any ideas? will I need to buy a new MB or what?
thank you for your help
Sean
