I'm pretty sure the BFG PSU in my gaming rig died yesterday. When I turned the machine on, LEDs on the mobo would turn on, but no fans would spin up. That scared me actually. I don't like the fact that somehow the mobo was getting power but lights weren't turning on.
Swapped out the PSU with the Enermax from my SR2. I've been wanting to do that anyway. The rig turned right on, but wouldn't boot to windows. I realized it wasn't recognizing my Vertex SSD at all. So, I figured, the PSU took down my SSD. Unplugged the SSD and tried to boot, but now the mobo won't POST at all. It's giving me error code "b8" on the mobo LED. I tried troubleshooting the RAM, but changing the RAM doesn't fix the problem. So, I'm suspecting either mobo or CPU.
And, since the working PSU is in the gaming rig, the SR2 is obviously without a PSU at this point as well.
