Hi i am new and really need some help here:
Juz now my house is havinga power surge for like just a split second then the power is back to normal. My whole rig and the air-con had been shut down. Then i just turn on everything again. But to my surprise my rig couldn't boot up, when i power it on and press the power botton, all the fans and HDD start spinning ( I can heard it ), but my monitor remains black, and the power led on the monitor remain orange, and there is no post or even beep to indicate anything. Also the power led and the HDD led on my stacker keep flashing none stop. After trying a few times nothing happen. So i do the following:
1) Inspect my AVR, pull out all the plug and use another power extention= No
2) Remove my 6800GS and re-seat it= No
3) Disconnect all fans except CPU and VGA fan= No
4) Disconnect all DVD drives and HDD= No, not even into bios, just black.
5) Change my 6800GS to my newly RMA returned X600XT= "Yes", but i power off when it ask me about system disk, because i disconnect them.
6) Put back my 6800GS= Yes, but even after reconnect all DVD and HDD it couldn't find my system disk. Have to reset my cmos.
Everthing went fine after i reset the cmos, i can boot into window like nothing happen before. But my question is, wht actually happened. Could a power surge do that? I meant it can fry my whole rig i know, but wht happen to my 6800GS which work again after i put in a X600XT? Could it be a short circuit on my 6800GS? Or even other component in my rig? Or is it possible that the power surge is actually cause by my com?
I am using a DFI 915P mobo with an Intel P4 2.8 Prescott. I already got 2 X600XT having artifact on me within 1 year, but i tot thats because X600Xt have QC problem. Right now i am wonder if it cause by my mobo. I already change my PSU to Coolermaster 450 true power when the first X600XT fail on me, everything in my rig had been change except the proc and the mobo.
So i seriously need some opinion here, i dont want to fry my 6800GS again. Or is there any other factor will cause the problem above? So far i dont have any other hardware in my rig fail on me beside the GC, so i really dont know wth to do next.
Last question: Can a short circuit fan which connect to a fan controller burn other hardware in my rig beside the controller and the PSU? Because recent i just hack my Vantec UV Led Fan by disconnect one of the wire on each led, and wrap it with magic tape. Could that be the cause?
