Hello All,
Looking for some inspiration here....
System specs:
Q6600 @3GHz
Mobo as above
8GB corsair XMS RAM
750W Jeantech PSU (I know)
2 x 4770's
New build comp within last 3 months, everything going fine until today. I was web browsing when I restarted (intentionally) to boot into other HDD with 64bit Vista on it whereby my computer began to continually POST then restart and so on. I can't get into BIOS (although intro screen appears briefly) except after CMOS reset but this makes no difference whichever settings I choose, as soon as I leave BIOS the cycle restarts.
I have swapped out EVERYTHING in my system leaving only the mobo as a possibility, I write this from my backup rig. I have googled for known probs with my mobo, there aren't many reports of probs but 3 people (including one on Newegg with almost exactly the same prob) have same or similar. I am thinking this is a critical goof and I have already begun the returns process (I bought it from Microdirect so it should be ok) but what I am asking is: Is there anything I have missed?? Anybody had this prob/heard of this problem before? Are there any mobo tricks people know that might help?
I know I am asking alot but I thought I would ask before I am motherboardless for a couple of weeks
Any help appreciated
AC
