salvoroni Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I just purchased all brand new parts for a new rig. System specs in my profile. I can boot the machine, and it will immediately turn off. Fans will spin, LED's will turn on then go right off. I don't know if this will help diagnose the problem but all 6 of the Phase LEDs on my motherboard turn on then off with it. I am trying to rule out if this could be my PSU before I RMA anything. Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 is the bios jumper in the right position? have you tried the paperclip test? http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=63991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthohol Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 some motherboards ship with the bios jumper in the clr position, i hope thats all it is :): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salvoroni Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 The jumper was not on the clr_cmos spot. I put it on and when booting, nothing happens. When I took it back off, it still turned on, then immediately back off. I did try turning on the PC with another power supply the other day (before messing with the CMOS) and got the same results. I now believe it is the motherboard. Any other help you could give would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Does the system post or just turns off when you press the power button. remove one ram stick and see if it posts. if it doesn't then try the other one. have you checked the video card? try it on another system. have you tried the CPU on an another motherboard (best to go to your local computer shop. Replace the CMOS battery? Also did you test your power supply as Synthohol stated? you should take these steps before confirming your Motherboard is dead.

salvoroni Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 It works, I never plugged in the 12v power adapter next to the CPU. Sorry for the trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
