Hey thought i could ask here for some imput
i have this brand new Asus Rampage III Extreme, i installed it into the new system, plugged in 2graphic cards(GTX580) and the top CPU power cable and the 24pin, started up the PSU have the bios chip light in the bottom lighting up and start/reset button but it will not start no matter how much i press the button or try wiggle the cables,

i have installed a full cover mobo block and a CPU water block on the card, and had a very tiny leak when i tested the loop with only pump on for 24hours, i took and wiped it off fairly quick and let it dry fro 24hours before starting up the mobo

is it dead in some way? it lights up but wont start i did try it before i installed it in the system and it were working then out of the box

So it worked before you made your loop?

Try running with only 1 card, or running with only 1 stick of memory. Can't remember if your MOBO has the post code reader built in. If so, does it get stuck on anything?

 

[Beezie]

yes it worked right out of the box, i did try it with 1card at a time and once without any card, did the same with the ram and no it does not have any way i can see a post code
card wont post at all, thats the prob it lights up but will not start/post

Do you have any friends that you can try putting your card in their computer to see if it's the card?

 

[Beezie]

no

Check for shorts against standoffs. Check you have not overtightened the mobo block, these boards are sensitive to warping and its a common mistake. What QLED is illuminated when it hangs? Have you tried booting from the second BIOS?

You may have to take it all apart and put the stock heatsink back on the mobo and go back to square one.

 

[Beezie]

it does not hang, i cant boot any of the 2 bios, the card do not start at all, it just lights up

i will try it with the standard mobo block later today

Make sure everything is connected correctly???( start/reset /front panel/ect)

Same thing happend to me once had my wires crossed ( pun intended)

 

[Beezie]

i have tried both the button on the motherboard and front panel. it dont work
