Hi. I just finished my watercooling installation about 10 min. ago and when I turn my computer on it says, "BeeeeeeeeeeepBepBep!"

And there is no display on the monitor (screen won't even register that the computer is on).

At first I thought that it was because my voltages on my processors are different but when I took one out it did the same thing.

Now I think that there's a drop of water somewhere on the board or the graphics card that got away from me and it's shorting it out.

If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them. Thanks!

Your MOBO manual should tell you what the beeps mean.

Also check that everything is seated probally, the important ones being the memory and vid card. Something may have jsut come loose if you have been adding watercooling.

If you suspect water on a board, I suggest letting it be for a while or blow drying it...

My manual doesn't have a good troubleshooting guide, that's why I'm posting here. If there is water on the board somewhere I'll have to wait until tomorrow when it shoudl dry out.

hmm...it might also be this:

some boards require that you have a fan plugged into the FAN1 slot...in this case you'll have to plug one in...switch the bios settings so that it will run without...then take it out...

The beep code means that its your videocard its not dected try to mess with it a little. also make sure U don't tighten the waterblock to tight to the cou might crack the core :-) And do U have a waterblock on the videocard and motherboard or just Cpu... Explain more...

No it definately wasn't the fan headers.

I have a waterblock on each processor tightened with my hand. I also checked out one of my processors after mounting and it wasn't cracked. So, I'll go and play with my video card and see what I can do.
