  1. Just an update - it was the CMOS battery. Got a new one and plugged it in - system started right up and everything is working perfectly! :)
  2. I removed both GPUs from the system - still won't turn on. The moment I plug in the 24-pin connector, the system does not turn on - no fans spinning, no lights, nothing. I don't think it's the GPUs. I even reseated the CPU to no avail.
  3. The PC was working perfectly fine all this time - it was turned off (with the PSU switch on the 'OFF' position) for about 10 days. Tried turning it on yesterday and this happened. How do I tell if the mobo is indeed dead or if it's some other issue? I even removed the GPUs from the system and it still won't turn on.
  4. Since yesterday, my PC won't turn on at all. No lights, no fans spinning, nothing. I used the "self-test" feature on the AX1600i and it works when I unplug the 24-pin connector (as it should) - green light shows up on the PSU - but leave all the other cables connected. However, when I connect the motherboard cable (24-pin), the PC doesn't turn on at all. On the motherboard itself (EVGA SR-3 Dark), I get an error code of "E2" when I hold down the "Reset" button for 4 seconds. I'm not sure how to diagnose the issue. Please help!
  5. Okay, I swapped the cables for the factory Corsair cables and all is well. I'm really surprised that the CableMod cables are bad - they seem to be highly rated out there but then again, defective cables do happen. Thanks for that sanity check - I was worried that the PSU was faulty - thank goodness that was not the case!
  6. Can anyone from Corsair help with this? It's most definitely something to do with the RAM.
  7. I've tried that already. I've cleared CMOS several times and even reflashed the latest BIOS for the motherboard - nothing works. The moment I change any of the settings (to OC the CPU or use XMP for the RAM - even manual settings for the RAM) - it does not POST. With everything on default, it works perfectly fine.
  8. I have the Corsair Dominator Platinum DD4 3200Mhz 64GB kit (CMD64GX4M4C3200C16) in my X99 system that I have been using for more than 4 years. It has been working great, however, I just put in a new PSU in the system yesterday and now the system won't boot. I have the Asus Rampage V Extreme motherboard with the 6950X CPU and this Corsair RAM kit. The debug code the mobo throws is 'b7' so it is memory related. After spending hours trying to diagnose the issue, I've narrowed it down to the following. 1.) Default settings work fine - I can boot into Windows and everything seems to work. HOWEVER, the RAM timings are not at the advertised speed of the kit - they should be 16-18-18-36 but instead they are 15-15-15-36. I know that default settings should have a speed of 2133Mhz and not 3200Mhz, but that isn't the problem here - it is the timings! They show up as C15 instead of C16 (see screenshot). 2.) The moment I try to apply any XMP profile or even manually set the timings, it does not boot! When I go back into BIOS (after clearing CMOS), the RAM timings show up as C15. I have tried OC'ing the CPU and keeping the RAM at Auto/Default - still no boot/POST. I have tried setting XMP on the RAM and keeping the CPU at Auto/Default - still no boot/POST. I have also tried setting the RAM timings manually without OC'ing/changing anything else - still no boot/POST. Every single time, it shows the debug code of 'b7.' I have also tried reseating the RAM sticks several times to no avail. I also tested it with just ONE RAM stick, still no boost/POST when trying XMP, manual, or OC settings. Only default settings seem to boot with C15. The moment I change anything in BIOS, it does not boot/POST. I have checked and rechecked all the connections from the PSU - everything is connected properly. I am at a loss as to why it does not even POST when trying to use XMP or OC'ing the system. I had the OC fine-tuned and was using it for more than 4 years without a hitch! I really need help fixing this issue. PLEASE HELP! Thanks in advance.
  9. I bought a brand new AX1600i and set it up two days ago. This morning, when I was just browsing/email (aka no load), the system just shut off. It wouldn't turn back on. I turned off the switch on the back of the PSU and then held down the power button on the PC for a few seconds. Then it turned back on and it booted right up. After about 10 minutes, again, it just shut off. I have the PSU connected to a dedicated 20A circuit so it most definitely is not that. I had an EVGA 1600T2 PSU in the system right before this and it worked flawlessly for the past 6 months. Since the system is shutting down when there is no load, what could the issue be? Also, I noticed in iCUE that the Multi-rail OCP is turned on and all the settings are at 40A (slider). Should the OCP be set to Single-Rail or Multi-Rail? Also, the Fan RPM is 0 - is there a way to set it so that it turns on automatically? I don't want any "eco" mode or some such thing - I want the PSU to be as cool as possible. I am using the CableMod cable-set for the AX1600i along with a couple of the stock/default cables since I'm using 2x GPUs in the system. The system has shut off without warning three (3x) times now when just idling/doing light work like browsing or checking email. Yesterday, I was playing games on it and monitored the Power-In and Power-Out and it was regularly reaching ~ 1470W - but it worked perfectly fine and there were no issues. When I shut the computer off last night, I turned the PSU switch to the "OFF" position (as I always do with all of my PCs) and turned it back on this morning when I wanted to use the computer. This is driving me insane so I would appreciate some help! Is the PSU dying already? It's been less than 3 days since I got it! Please help!
