As there is no real basic questions folder, and I have a motherboard that fits into this category, I guess I'll ask here. Then again, I also have some of every other folders bits and pieces, so who knows where it's supposed to be.
Problem.. I recently moved to the UK from the US, and shipped my PC over with me. It took a bit of a beating in the transfer process, but nothing too bad. The plexi on the side panel of the case was shattered, and the mounting clip for the CPU cooling fan broke away and the fan/sink came loose. I cleaned both the CPU and Sink and applied a new later of arctic silver, remounted the fan/sink, closed everything up, and............
When I hit the power button, the fans all turn over once, the lights in the fans that have them flash on briefly, lights on the mobo come on, and then nothing. I have to turn off the power at the power supply, then reset it, before I can hit the power button again, but it stays the same.
Before anyone asks, yes, I did switch the power supply from 110 to 230 before I tried.
edit: my sig, once upon a time, as all my relevant computer info in it, but I haven't posted here in a while, so not sure why it isn't there anymore. I'm using an EVGA 680i mobo, a Apevia Beast Power 650 supply, and a few other things that escape me at the moment, as my wife is nagging me to get ready to leave.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
