Hi all!
Recently after installing a new radiator in my computer, I attempted to turn it on, but was unsuccessful. I switched off my PSU (Hiper 730W Type-R) and then switched it back on, but was once again unsuccessful. I then checked all my power connections on my MB(P5N32-E SLI PLUS), GPU(Palit 8800GT "Super+ 1GB"), and PSU and tried again. This time my computer booted successfully only to shut off again a few minutes later. Once again my computer would not power on so I again checked all connections and powered it up once more and it booted up again. About five minutes later it shut-off and then wouldn't turn on for anything. I first suspected a leak might've sprung and damged my PSU. I am using a non-conductive fluid so the only thing that should be affected in my nearly dust free computer is the PSU right? Anyways, I checked for leaks and saw/felt none. I then dug around in my closet until I found a PSU (Hipro 350W) to try. I plugged that one in, pressed the switched and my computer came on, but this time my monitors remained in power-save mode. I then reseated my RAM (4x Corsair XMS2 2GB) and GPU and tried again, but was unsuccessful. I then took out my XMS2 RAM and put in one stick of Corrsair 1 GB value select RAM. This was also unhelpful. One thing I have noticed is that when I press the power button my case lights and fans all come on. Also, my HD begins spinning and the water-block on my CPU (Intel Pentium D 945 3.4GHz) begins to warm-up. I am worried because the heatsink on my GPU isn't warming up like usually. I do not recieve any BIOS beeps whatsoever. Sorry for the long-winded explanation, I am just trying to be thourough. If anyone needs additional information please contact me. I will be very thankful for any suggestions you may have so feel free to contribute.
Thanks,
