Corsair H150i red blinking light and overheating

[battletank]

I just installed the Corsair H150i today to replace a standard air cooled unit. After initial install and power up it worked fine. Set the fans and pump to balanced and used my computer for four some hours with no issues. While getting ready for bed I wanted to set my computer to sleep like I normally do. Accidentally hit shutdown. When I tried to power it back up the pump started blinking red and the rig started overheating. When I eventually got it cool enough (by keeping it powered down for 10 minutes as it was up to 89C) to have time to log on, the Corsair link says the fans are spinning but the pump isn’t pumping. No changes in the setting, from quiet to balanced or extreme got the pump moving. Any ideas? It worked before the shutdown and the shutdown was done via the menu, not a forced.

restart windows

update the motherboard´s bios within bios, not in windows

check if you plugged in the pump into the pump connector on the motherboard

reset the BIOS by jumper (unplugged from the wall)

The problem seems to be the pump isn’t working. It is plugged into the CPU_FAN header. It is seated correctly on the mount. I can’t boot up in time to see the Corsair link information as the system gets too hot too fast.

Did you connect the USB header and the SATA port as well to the motherboard and power supply?

Maybe you can alter your setup with a little help of this install video (bit more fans, but similar to yours)

Maybe connect the pump fan to the moterboard´s pump header

Did you remove the plastic of the CPU cooling pad?

If non of the above info works then go to corsair.com and request an RMA (it is obviously within warranty as that cooler was released in January and AIO coolers have 5 year guarantee also you will need proof of purchase)
