Hi All,
I recently built a new rig with the a AA8XE, P4 3.2Ghz(640) in May. Iinsatlled a new T-Take BigWater CPU Cooler the other day and when I restart the rig it goes through its config checks, Alarm starts and it shuts down. It never gets far enough to boot. Everything was re-installed the exact same way as it was when it was running brilliantly.
I reset the BIOS to disable the CPU & HS shutdown alarm I had configged so the lack of a fan attached to the CPU fan connector would'nt cause the system to shut down. It does anyway. Is it possible the BIOS dicn't reset? I even removed the battery as the possibility occurred to me that the jumper BIOS reset was'nt working properly to no avail.
I don't want to go too far into everything I tried as it would make a long list. Let's just say I ried everything I could think of which was, I thought, quite alot.
Can anyone help? has anyone ever run ino this prob with this board? I ruled out the CPU being fried for a host of reasons... It is new, I did'nt change, replace or remove it and the CPU being fried wouldn't cause the alarms and shutdown...would it? could it?
Again, can anyone please HELP, I am STUMPED
