I hate to bring you guys another POST thread, but I just haven't found anything on Google or here at Tom's that helps me out. I'm afraid that this moving is just coincidental, but it may be a problem with my OC a month ago...
My rig:
MSI 890GXM-G65
AMD Phenom II x4 960T Zosma (O.C. 4.0GHz, base clock 250mhz x16)
OCZ Agility 3 AGT3-25SAT3-60G
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 2x4GB DDR3 1333
ZALMAN CNPS9700 110mm cooler
COOLER MASTER Silent Pro M600
XFX Radeon HD 6850
I previously had an OC where I was clocked up to 4.0GHz leaving the base clock at 200mhz x20, and had my voltage cranked up higher than this previous one. Worked fine, but a year later I wanted to re-clock it more efficiently and to boost my NB, so I reclocked it tweaking the base clock.
About two weeks after doing so, I began to have issues with Windows freezing at the welcome screen and on the shutdown screen, so assuming it was instability, I bumped the voltage only a bit, trying the CPU, NB, and RAM voltages.
Last week, I left it unplugged and packed in the original case box with foam to move it to my new house, and it's been cold for a few days. When I tried plugging it back in yesterday, it would no longer POST. I've tried everything except for reseating the CPU and motherboard, which I will try tonight. I tried different RAM also and it still wouldn't post.
EDIT: Also, I have tried bringing it to work where it's much warmer and it still won't POST.
In sum, here's what I'm asking: does anything obvious stick out to you who are more experienced than I? I don't have an extra motherboard or CPU to try out, so is there any way that I can figure out specifically which piece is broken so I can RMA it?
Thanks in advance for your help...
