OK. I decided to dump my old tower case for a smaller one that had more room for fans. So after alot of cutting over 3 days and lots of test fitting to get my tuniq to fit, I put it together and all I have to show for it is a blank screen and noise from the fans.
Heres all the info:
pentium d 805 2.66Ghz 1.2V, ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus, 7600GT, A-DATA Vitesta 2X1GB 533Mhz
all of that was running at 3.65Ghz 1.32V I think that put the ram at about 740Mhz 3-4-4-9 1T with the voltage raised a little. to deal with the temps I slapped a fan on the Northbridge heatsink, put a 486 fan/heatsink on my southbridge, put another fan on the stock SB heatpipe, Tuniq tower 120, AS5 on CPU NB and SB.
no beeps, blank screen, no hard drive chatter........... correct me if Im wrong but that means that it has to be the CPU MoBo or RAM. so far I have tried moving the video card to the other pci-e slot and tried a pci video card I have (now that I think about it that was a wasted step). Ive flipped the speaker connection to make sure it wasnt upside down.
my next steps will be to try the speaker from my old case and try just one then the other stick of ram.
If this sounds like something you have gone through chime in and help a brother out.
