Would be best to try to trace down what area is causing it and maybe using carboard somthing wont catch fire when heated up be best.

I been working on 3720 so far prime is stable last night 3680 lasted all night problem free.

How many times have you installed it? Might want to try it again.

well....it's been down for like 2 weeks with problem after problem. I took out the whole water cooling loop out last nite, cleaned it, rerouted, hooked everything back in hoping it will fire up. and bam, no boot.

was very frustrated last nite after no boot

Bal3Wolf · 07-08-09

and it boots when you say try it on your desk ? duct tape or electric tape be somthing good to use to stop grounding issues.

richardbb85 · 07-08-09

so i took the board off, i have it sitting like this right now and it boot up fine

Well this is frustrating. Worst case you so what Balwolf said and tape it but use very light adhesive tape so the glue will not melt off. Or keep searching for where it's grounding.

@ Balwolf looks like things are going good

EDIT: WHERE ARE YOUR STANDOFFS RICHARD?

grishkathefool · 07-08-09

uh, first off, no it wouldn't retain anymore heat than normal... how much air flows behind the MoBo? second, uh, the foam isn't going to be any more apt to catch flame than cardboard would be...

So, looking at that picture, I don't see standoffs on the MoBo tray... but it might just be my eyes. Is that the same way that you get it to work evertime? What happens when you shake different wiring harnesses? If you shake the 8pin CPU power connector, pull it, push it, move it around in general? There might be some way that the wires are being routed that is causing a loose connection to become "unconnected". If perhaps a molex pin or female connector isn't tight on the wire it contains? I would check that. Set it up like you have it there in the picture and carefully work each and every wire in different directions and see what happens.

Are you just screwing the mobo into the tray without any brass standoffs?

NoGuru · 07-08-09

Yes I don't see the standoffs unless you took them off but why would you.

Edit: Ok so I see this is your first build. No biggy. Standoff are the tiny hex shape screws the come with the case. I think there is like 9 for ATX boards and they keep the board off the case about an 1/8 inch. And please ask questions I'm sure I asked you this awhile ago.
