Need help. System is kinda dead.

I recently watercooled my Q9450/4870X2 based system because I didn't like the temps achieved with the TRUE120

Installation of the watercooling gear went without incident and I ran the pump off a spare PSU for about 9 hours while the rest of system was powered off. No leaks were found.

I then connected everything to the internal PSU (Corsair HX-1000)

The system powered on just fine and I used it for about an hour. Temps were fine. (about 8-10C cooler)

While I was waiting for a game to auto-patch, I stepped out to use the bathroom and, when I returned, the system was powered off.

I unplugged the PSU and checked for any possible leaks. None were located.

Symptom:

Immediately upon power up from the front button, the system starts to power up, then powers off.

I haven't even looked at the system in a week because I got in a wreck and have been laid up with herniated discs in my back, but I want to get this system running because I need something to do while I am off work healing.

The only "new" equipment I've recently installed was the water pump and the Corsair PSU. The system used to be powered by a PCP&C Silencer 750.

Any ideas?

I'd try that 750 if you still have it.

Agreed, make sure it isn't the PSU first.

[muddocktor]

Yeah, I'd go with the psu swap first off, if you don't see any water inside the case anywhere.

[dribblesnort]

Cool.

I'm hoping it is something simple like that.

Thanks for the advice.

[dribblesnort]

Well I removed the Corsair HX1000 and installed the PCP&C 750 and the system is fine now...GRRR!

You have no idea what I had to go through to get that Corsair out of my case, LOL.
