hey guys, so ive been looking all over the web on how to resolve my issue and i think my situation might be a little more complicated...
so first of all here is my build.
Case: CoolMaster Haf X
GPU: Zotac GeForce GTX 590 3GB
CPU: Intel Core i7 3930K
PSU: Enermax MaxRevo 1200W
MoBo: Asus Rampage IV Extreme
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws Z F3-17000CL9Q-16GBZH (4x4GB) DDR3
SSD: OCZ Vertex 3 120GB SSD Max IOPS
Windows 7
PS: ive had this for about 6 months now, it was working beautifully, no problems whatsoever.
What happened:
31/05/12: 1AM: Shut down the computer using the start button in windows 7
01/06/12: 11PM: Came back from work, pressed start button on the panel.. nothing happens.. Went to the back of the case and switched the psu on and off, nothing changes.
Decided to google some solutions;
- checking if the psu was fine using the paperclip trick,
- using the troubleshooting site that was posted on another thread similar to my problem that had like 40+ points such as using 1 stick of ram and placing it in one of the sockets which is usually the furthest away from the cpu
- pulling everything out and carefully inserted each wire
- checking if the MoBo was mounted properly
- starting the system using the start button on the motherboard
- ETC
After everthing, Freaking out right now.. cause nothing worked.
02/06/12: 10PM: got back from work decided to give it one last go. I carefully place the GPU back into it's socket made sure all the wires were in place switched on the PSU at the back, lights lit up on the motherboard (start/restart button ALSO i a Po605 orange light came on at the bottom of the MoBo) tried hitting the start button on the panel, nothing, decided to hit the start button on the motherboard.. nothing.. BUT STRANGELY as i was about to insert the last wire to one of my fans, IT BOOTED UP! everything sounded perfect, there was that one beep and all the fans were spinning. So i decided to turn the computer off so i can insert the fan wire in and after putting it in, the problem reoccurred, nothing, start button did nothing on both the panel and the MoBo.
So right now im absolutely confused as to what it might be and seriously contemplating on calling Geeks2u for some professional help. Also the reason i dont want to call them for this issue is because if it is my MoBo, i can claim warranty only if the mobo is not modified or damaged physically, and i dont want them to accidentally damage it and change the features in anyway as they might try and fix it themselves but i dont know.. personally im bad with computers.. what do you guys think.. do you rekon its my mobo or the wires are faulty? do you rekon its time for some professional help and call up Geeks2u?
THANKS GUYS
PS: yes i did take out the fan wire after that to see if that was causing it to not boot up and no, nothing
