Ok my build was working fine earlier, I took everything out of my pc so I could install the watercooling, put everything back as it was, and now it doesn't boot up.
__________________Any ideas what the problem is? I put the graphics card in another pci-express slot but it still doesn't work..

Any fans spinning up? Any beeps/codes at all?

What do you mean exactly when you say "won't boot up"? No LED lights? No post indicator? Fans spinning? HDs work but no display?

No beeps, no coding, but all the fans and hard drive runs.

All I can say is recheck for leaks, make sure there isn't any fluids. Then make sure all the power connectors are in and pushed in all the way firmly. Then if that doesn't work try booting up with minimal parts and then swap RAM slots, PCI slots, etc.

How are the fans spinning and HD spinning if there are no codes? The motherboard controls the PSU. If the motherboard is on, there will be some LED on and teh error code display.

__________________ sorry buddy...i did this to my A1 at the start of the summer, and it sucks a big one.. although i knew full well i screwed mine when i did, you might want to check around and see if you did any serious damage to it. did you wc your northbridge? if so you could have chipped a corner on the chipset which would indeed give you a new paper weight

dont we all at one point if you cant get the board to boot, take everything off and fill out an RMA with EVGA. their RMA service is pretty good, and although i killed mine by chipping the corner of the chipset (yes that was me i hinted to last post) they are still going to give me a new board.
