New motherboard... new problems.

If you were having problems booting it probably is not the HDD. And just why do you have a HDD with serious important data on an easily accessible hotswap bay / USB dock? Because I find it ridiculously hard to believe that your brother cracked open your computer just to smash a hard drive.

Get an SSD (if the story is true) so he can't bash it again unless he uses a hammer or something.

He went into my room and pulled it out of the drive cage and smashed back in.

Your brother:
A) is a luddite
B) is retarded
C) hates you
D) is a product of your imagination

C and a little bit of B. he has some let's say issues. And has "moments" from time to time.

He have "moments" like the "moment" when you OCed a 3770k to 5.5-6ghz with an H100i ?

Sry, this was too easy !

I betcha it would have made it too if the HDD. Wasn't fudged...

The fans stopping is a particularly bad sign, probably a short.
Likely the PSU in short-circuit-protection mode.

LGA pins can be a PITA.

Yep, and I hit 9 GHz on mine on air cooling.


The error related to startup sounds like the CPU_FAN error... Just go into BIOS by pressing F1 as instructed, then Ignore that fan.

 

[DarrenP]

It's a dead hard drive. I bought another one and it's all good now.

 

[sobe]

Great to hear, glad you got it back running

 

[DarrenP]

Now somethings buzzing...

nevermind... It's the light. xD
