received all new components today (12/26) here's what I got;
1. MOBO - Asus p5b deluxe
2. Ram Super Talent - dII 800 2 x 1g'
3. CPU c2 duo e6600 2.4 g 4 meg retail
4. Scythe infinity cooler
5. PSU ocz 700w
6. BFG 8800 gts
7. AS 5 paste
OK, I built this outside of case, on a big phone book, so no shorting.
I shorted the pwr switch and it booted fine, so I began following core duo oc guide instructions published here at Toms.
Went great, slowly worked my way up and booted as high as 3.7 but locked during mem test (the memory testing program, not the self test at boot) so I dropped back to about 3.5 and re-ran mem test and it seemed to be going fine so I left it running for about 45 mins.
Upon return system had shut down and now will not boot. The fans spin up momentarily then stop.
I tried re-setting cmos. I've taken out the battery and am going to let it sit all night before trying again.
Ideas?
PS I've built many systems but this is my first with PCIe and core duo and I have no other parts to switch out, so I cannot isolate problem and I feel pretty crappy about not knowing what to RMA. I'd assume MOBO, but I sure would like some expert advice. Thanks.
I have tried booting with 1 stick of RAM. I examined CPU and no burn marks.
