Hello everybody, It's been awhile since I've logged in, I followed everybody's advice and just bought a new system last year so I've been problem free and perusing the forums I haven't' seen anything I could assist with so I never signed in but I've always been here!
Now I have a weird frustrating issue that defies logic with my son's system. He scooped a tower that was a great deal for goofing around and worked great gaming but I noticed it got hot and suggested we transplant everything into a Thermaltake tower I had dormant in the basement so it wouldn't bake itself. It is equipped with:
Asus P5WD2 Motherboard
Intel Duo-Core 3.2 CPU
2 x 160 Gb WD hdd's
Nvidia/MSI GPU
WD Burner
450W PSU
4 Gb installed
Win 7 Premium
Machine ran great but with it becoming so hot it was just smart to move it to a tower that could contain extra fans so we swapped and remounted everything and plugged it in and everything ran fine, booted, went online so we shut it down, disconnected the tower and took it back out to connect a case fan and took it back into the computer room and wouldn't boot.
We tried to restart and went to the Asus screen, into post and then black with a blinking cursor then the message reboot or restart with drive configured correctly or install boot disc or something to that effect. We once got an "overvoltage / overclocking failure" please reboot. It isn't OC'd and I have no idea what the hell that is suppose to mean.
We went into Bios and set everything back to default with no change. I didn't do the install of the components so I took pics before I even started and reinstalled everything back the way it was.
The bios list is all IDE's with the first 3 empty because it is Sata, and the bios recognizes the 2 hdds but refuses to boot from them. I did change the boot order from the floppy to the hd but it only gives me the one hd to boot from. One thing I found interesting is the board is equipped with 4 sata plugs and #1 is empty, 2 & 3 are to the hd's and the 4th is to the burner.
Would re arranging these make a difference? Just wondering.
I have no idea why it would go from a working system to flatlining especially after transferring all the hardware and booting it and then 30 mins later won't boot after a fan install..and now won't recover. Would something have grounded?
If anyone has an idea please hit me back, this is oddly frustrating.
