Finally decided to get rid of 'The Behemoth' pc75, and get a cute icky SN45g.

I got it booted, installed windows, rebooted a few times after installing new apps.

Then it didnt reboot.

I have tried everything;

- Cleared CMOS
- tried a different CPU
- tried different memory
- tried a different external psu (enermax 465)
- pci video card

The blue light flashes when power is pressed, the fan spins, but no output/noise/leds. I am fairly experienced in building PCs, and have tried everything normal - but nothing. Power is definitely getting to the motherboard, as the led light comes on and the fan spins. I am at a loss, and can only assume something has fried.

Does anyone have any idea?

Sounds like the motherboard has died, although it's a bit worrying that you did manage to get stuff installed before. Check to see that the motherboard isnt in contact with the case properly.

Just been reading on the Sudhian Forum.

Looks like the SN45G v2 has a problem. If you change vdimm, the motherboard breaks.

Guess what I had done _JUST_ before the thing died? Overclocking it - and changed VDIMM!!!!


ARGH!!!!

So what are you going to do? RMA?
