Hi everyone
I am here to ask the pro and simi pros for some advice. I have a homebuilt system that all of a sudden died on me. I turned off my computer one day and when I tried to turn it on a few days later it wont start.
Symptoms: I can hear an electrical howling noise very high pitched, very faint nothing unusual here. Basically the electrical hum of my system. (very similar to the sound of a tv). No fans spin up, my hard drive doesn't spin up. I have experienced something similar to this when the two fans on my tower where turned off. except then the system blinks on and then dies. (build in safety feature I guess) It behaves the same except that it doesn't power up at all. You could compare it to the power button not responding at all.)
system completely dead and non-responsive.
I can see my mother board lighting up. and have tried to turn it on using the onboard power button. But nothing happens. I am at a loss here as to what it could be, and any ideas on what I should try would be very appreciated.
Here's to hoping you guys can point me in the right direction
System specs. (in case they are useful):
Asus striker extreme main board
intel quad core CPU
4 blocks of corsair mem
2 x GeForce 8800 GT SLI config
SSD bootdrive
1 SATA harddrive
Note watercooled system. (no leaks or moisture I can spot) And my system does seem to be very dusty inside.
