Hi,
These are my specs firstly:
ASUS P8P67 PRO REV 3.1
XFX GTX 295
i5 2500k
OCZ GAMEXSTREAM 850W PSU
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro rev 2
Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9G Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz CL9 XMP 1.35v
Samsung HD103SJ Spinpoint F3 1TB Hard Drive
Antec 900 case
I upgraded the motherboard and the CPU to the ones mentioned above and all the other parts which is in the list came from my old build (which has a different cpu socket).
I first built it up and at first the DRAM LED light was on I held down the memok button let it do its thing and then it rebooted with a CPU LED light on constant. I tried resetting the CMOS and still the same issue. Tried one stick of ram in each slot and it still has the same problem.
One thing I found strange is the fact that sometimes when it boots the cpu light wont come on at all and it still wont post any display, although this is rather quite rare when it happens.
Does the CPU LED light fundamentally mean that its a problem with just that?
A friend tested the cpu and psu in his computer and they was working completely fine.
I am going to reseat the CPU soon and possibly try building it out of the case, but if it was shorting wouldn't the board just cut out straight away? As it stays on untill I turn it off.
Any help is much appreciated even if it doesn't work.
Thanks,
Paul
