Hey everyone,
I just took out my PCI sound card and installed a Xonar STX II in the PCI-e x1 slot. Plugged the PC back in, computer boots fine to Windows.
I reboot Windows after cleaning out the old drivers and the computer doesn't post. Instead it keeps booting for 3 seconds and resetting over and over.
I flip the PSU switch off and then back on, the computer posts fine so i get into the BIOS to do a config reset, just in case something got funky in the configuration.
That was the last time i was able to do anything with the computer. Now it gets stuck at a boot code of 7F if i unplug all unnecessary components and 75 if i leave all components plugged in. On a cold boot it'll freeze during POST although it says Press Del for setup or F1 to continue, the keyboard (USB and PS/2) doesn't do anything. If i reset the PC from there then i get stuck again in that 3 second boot then reset cycle.
I did the obvious of taking out the new sound card but that doesn't make a difference. I've unplugged and replugged every single power cable and SATA connector, reseated all components (except CPU) and i'm running out of ideas. My GPUs are stuck together in a water loop and the last thing i want to do is take the loop apart to go single GPU.
Any thoughts?
