    Re-Build powers on then off right away. Help save my hair because I'm pulling it out!

    Wow, you sure did a whole lotta more work than I did with your problem lol! So, how did it turn out? Everything has been 100% fine ever since I put my new mobo in (upgraded to a SATA-X/m.2-capable, triple-SLI one at the same time. might as well for like 60 bucks more, lmao. ..), and I run the...

    Re-Build powers on then off right away. Help save my hair because I'm pulling it out!

    Well, since YOU cannot get it to boot for longer than a split second (like was my case before I managed to get the CPU "detected" by the old board.), it just may be your CPU at fault here. The RAM as I said I think would at least go past the POST stage of booting. First things first though, I...

    Alright buddy, here's my report. With both good, and bad news. Which one do you want first? The bad? Okay, well, 99.999% you fried something on your mobo (by accident I assume/hope.). I just got my new mobo today (4 different shipments coming in the same day around the same time. isn't...

    Seeking recommendations for best gaming headset under $200

    Hmm, Having second thoughts about my recent purchase the more I think about it. I bought some Astro A50's last week and will be receiving them probably tomorrow, along with a Sound Blaster Z sound card and mic combo. However, since I fried my mobo while I was putting new pieces in last week...

    Oh gawd. Wish I'd went all the way through high school now with all that electricity theory coming through. (took a class briefly in sound engineering once, first week was all about impedance and conversions and the such. thankfully, I was pretty smart while I *WAS* in high scool.) Or that I...

    Well, there's your good news you were hoping for. ;D..... As for me, my board has been taken out of the box already and I'm afraid it's pretty much done for at this point. I DID not check underneath the mobo component heatsinks if there might've been anything trapped there, and it's pretty...

    Here's that post about ESD I was mentionning earlier, too, for reference. I'm re-reading it at least a couple of times before I get my new mobo and before I submit my wrist-strap-PSU-tester-multimeter order. ;D....... http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=812518

    Not sure if you're talking to me, or him, or quite possibly both. However, the place I'm at currently has been renovated a few years ago, and seems to be in pretty good shape overall. My APC surge protector also detects no faulty wiring (yup, comes in with a light for that. xD.....), and...

    Can't say much about details as specific as "such a brand" and "such model", but I know when mine actually stays on more than a second, it will shut down within a minute, only to reboot over and over again (read post. :p....) and I won't get a POST or video signal anyway. I'd say you're...

    Re-Build powers on then off right away. Help save my hair because I'm pulling it out!

    Unfortunately, I don't have any straight answers on every detail at this point, (many missing stuff indeed.) and I don't want to go around posting on and spamming every forum and website out there bwahahahh.... and, I'm pretty burnt on the issue right now and already have a new mobo coming in...

    Sure thing. It sounded like very similar issues so I thought I'd link you to my post for some more insights. (I'd browsed around for literally HOURS researching stuff to get to that point, so, hopefully I can save you a bit of time on that side (and other people maybe.)) I can't be very much...

    Computer boots then shuts down and reboots repeatedly.

    Should I bother and spend the hour or so it would take to put the old, stock cooler back on just in case somehow my NH-D15 would be at fault ?????.... What do you guys think? Also, I'm guessing I did the right thing by ordering a new mobo, since that CPU-8-pin test and the fact it would...

    Re-Build powers on then off right away. Help save my hair because I'm pulling it out!

    I had to troubleshoot the same issue this week, to end up with not much better results. (now, it powers on, but for less than a minute and then reboots repeatedly, without any POST or video input at all. and unfortunately, my setup is lacking computer speakers so I have no way of telling how far...

    Fried mobo replacement: ASRock Fatal1ty Z97X Killer vs MSI Z97-G45 Gaming

    Hello all! Just looking for a bit of advice on this topic. I apparently fried my mobo this week while putting on my new air cooler, a Noctua NH-D15. As I'd ordered a Fatal1ty Z97X Killer shortly after I'd pretty much ruled everything but the mobo being at cause of my computer failing to...

    Computer boots then shuts down and reboots repeatedly.

    Hi, Thanks for taking the time to answer this post-about-not-POSTing. (bwahahah.) At the time, I only have one stick of RAM in already, in the A1 position, though like I said I've tried every combination and position possible. ;D...... The graphics card is currently not on the board, and it's...
