And so its starting to look like this took my CPU down as well. So... am I just out $800? ($1600 actually since now I have to replace the hardware.) Is that it? Can I get the CPU and motherboard RMAed?

Well, so. It powers up now but nothing happens. Status indicator sits at 00 immediately which tells me that it is not POSTing.

Picked up a new X99-Deluxe at Frys today and sure enough. Fired right up. So looks like the motherboard fried. And after reading about the Corsair RM650s cant help but think that contributed. We will see how this goes.

But now there has been the original Corsair RM 650, an RM 850 (purchased new and now returned), and then a Rosewill Hive-750. THe PSU has gone into protect with all 3 PSUs. The RM850 was brand new, and the Rosewill I was able to test and confirm it turns on using the method now. I am going...

Yep. No such luck. Took it out of the case and hooked up to power with nothing else attached I got the same result.

So I just got home and tested out my PSU. All I got out of the original PSU was a click. No fans turned at all. But, well, they arent supposed to either. But no sounds indicating the PSU was on. I tested the other PSU, Rosewill unit, and it turned on just fine with the fans turning at...

What benefit would this xeon chip have over the i7 skylake chips? ECC Ram? But then wouldnt the trade off be no Hyperthreading?

And I will add that the other PSU I swapped in was a brand new Corsair RM-850. I have a rosewill PSU at home I realized late last night. I will try that tonight and see if I can get my computer back online. I will also try and jump the original PSU just to see what happens.

And of course, now a function of the PSU that it might be hitting up against I did a quick search about the PSU and low and behold guess what I found. An article titled "Why you Might Not want to buy a CORSAIR RM PSU."...

Of course. The most important thing I leave off of the parts list! The PSU is a Corsair RM650.

I built a new system back in August with the below parts. It has ran flawlessly since then. I woke up in the morning to find the system dead. I had left it on over night but then it was off. And wont start up. The lights on the motherboard do turn on when power is applied. The very...

Aside from the proprietary PSU you might also have a problem with the form factor of the PSU. The last time I did a 2U case it was a long narrow power supply completely different from what I used in a desktop pc,

Im curious about using it for surveillance cameras. I bought a synology DS214 and with 6 HD cameras it is degrading the recorded streams because it cant keep up. Have 4 2TB hard drives I am going to setup on Raid 10 for hyperV. Hoping to have one VM running Blue iris, One vm running Plex...

keyword: was. not is.

Its on Amazon at $345 with prime shipping available too.

Ok. Thanks for that. I jumped in for one. Now to find a good deal on some more ram!

Would something like this be better then building my own? Was looking at putting together a home server that will be used to run Hyper-V with a few virtual machines on it including domain controller, plex server, and tor among other things. I have a Athlon FX 8350 I was going to use for CPU...

I agree that it is the best solution at that price. The only thing I would say about this is that to use the HDMI function for things like Surveillance Station requires that the QNAP box be near your TV. If you get robbed... you lose not just your TV but all of your data as well. The...

No, I am running a fresh install of windows 7 ultimate. I dont think its the OS though because the system wont even post.

I am adding a new XFX Radeon 7770 to my computer and when I do, the computer will not post. If I put in the old Nvidia 465, the computer boots up just fine. I am on a fresh install of windows and still have not installed any video drivers. Just motherboard, sound, usb, and nic drivers. Thats...

Well, apparently not but yes the motherboard was preexisting. I swapped it into a new case with a new power supply, new video card, and new hard drives. It wouldnt post. I swapped in the old Geforce 465 video card and it booted right up. Not sure if the video card is bad or not. Finishing a...

Is there a different way to clear the CMOS other than pulling the battery? I reset the CMOS and put in the new 7770 vid card and no luck. Popped the 465 back in and it fired right up to the post screen. Weird. Maybe something is wrong with my new video card.

I hope that this is one of those facepalm moments. Because I read that last suggestion to clear CMOS and said DUH! to myselff. I plugged in the old video card last night and it POSTed just fine so I figured it was something with the video card but it never occured to me to clear CMOS. Im...

Yes, everything seems to power up but nothing is output to the monitor. It sits there saying No Signal. Optical drive opens and closes, caps lock causes the light on my keyboard to turn on and off, but yes nothing is outputting to the monitor. No POST beep though. I tried with a new Radeon...

I just built two computers. One based around a Zotac 880G-ITX and the other around an Asrock 970 Extreme3. The Zotac board was brand new. The Asrock board I switch over to a new case from existing hardware. In both cases I am getting a no post situation. Both basically have no response...

Ill buy it. PM Sent.

Sent PM about Mobo and RAM

It is a laptop so it is the speakers that are builtin to the laptop. I did set the default device so when I look in the audio control panel it shows the IDT Audio Codec listed for speakers/microphones.

I am running Windows 7 64bit and my audio was working fine for about a week after a fresh install but is now no longer working. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers listed on Dell's website but it still has not had an effect. If I go to the audio icon in the task bar it shows that...

I guess I can go without modular if they are more expensive. Are ANY of these "80 PLUS" certified PSUs good? Any for under $80 that are not jet engines?

I was looking at an OCZ modular power supply. I found the GameXStream or also the Modxstream series for around $70-80 for a 700w PSU. At this time I would rather go modular then have a huge mess of extra cables to manage in there. Are those good power supplies?

Ok. So you guys convinced me. I am going to go the vidcard and PSU route and see how that works out. I upgraded to the 8800gts thinking that would get me better video playback and it did but I could tell that the system was topping out. After getting the new vid card I thought that the CPU...

Yeah, currently I am running an 8800GTS and am going to stick with that. I dont do a lot of gaming, but some. What I mainly want to be able to do is to watch blu-ray movies on my computer. So I am looking at a quad core system. I was looking at a Core2Quad but it seems that those are just...

Well I am full of shit! Its actually a Thermaltake Pure Power 400w PSU. Which interestingly enough i cannot find seperately on their website but is listed under the specs for the Matrix case that I bought from them.

I currently have an Antec 450w power supply that is powering up an old 939 dual core opteron system with 2 gigs of ram, 2 hard drives, and an 8800gtx. Now I am looking at upgrading and will probably go with a LGA775 dual core or if I can find a good deal on a combo a Phenom quad core. Will I...

So I try and reinstall windows and now, after multiple reinstalls, my machine is now not recognizing my computer at the precise time it says "Please Hit Any Key..." to boot to the cd. Everything is fine until you get to that point and it locks out the keyboard. Caps lock key with light even...

Well, I tried swapping out the cable with 2 other ones I had on hand and no dice. I even grabbed the cable between the cable modem and the router and that didnt work either. It seems like there is something wrong with my computer now. I guess its just time to say fuck it and reinstall...

Thanks guys. Yeah, I have been getting the autoconfig address. 169... Pinging the loopback works fine. I am pretty sure it is not my router as I am currently connected to it wirelessly right now. I looked at the setup and everything is setup for DHCP and to automatically pull an ip and DNS...

So for some reason my XP machine stopped pulling an ip address from my router. Can someone point me in the right direction? In networking status it shows connected, but it shows 0 packets being sent or received. I run ipconfig and it shows 0.0.0.0. I tried renewing but it says the DHCP...
