Alrighty guys lemme give you the rundown.
1. got 2 x 2GB sticks for my comp (in sig)
2. put them in and they worked fine
3. did a little overclocking and after a bit the computer refused to boot.
4. Tried resetting BIOS, nothing
5. re-seated (and reapplied As5) the CPU
6. went back to old RAM
7. have the motherboard completely out of the case and have only the PSU connected
As of right now when I turn it on this happens:
1. every fan spins
2. HDDs spin up
3. CPU warms up (saw this by touching the bottom of the HSF near the CPU socket
4. The only weird thing I see is that the CPU_FAN fan header isn't providing constant power, my fan is an LED fan and when I have it plugged into the CPU_FAN header, the LED blinks off every couple of seconds.
5. to see if the rear panel is getting anything, I have a network cable plugged into the back of the motherboard and have that connected to my router, if it gets any signal, the green status lights should blink, so far they are not blinking
6. no POST beeps, even with RAM out which should always beep, nothing
have I shot my motherboard?
