Hello all, I'm running Dual 2.8Ghz Xeon Nocona's @3.2Ghz. I have been recently running into some problems when I started ocing the procs. When you turn it on, it doesn't post, it just sits there. After multiple times of turning it off and back on (30+, seriously), I pulled the door and started poking around. I started off simple, such as unplugging 1 hdd, and it fired up right away. I believe this is a PSU problem (I have a listed 'bad' brand to have) because I'm putting it under ALOT of stress (4 8w fans, MCP655 water pump, dual xeon oc'd, 7800gt, 3 hdd's, cd/dvd burner). Can a crappy PSU cause a MB not to post? (<--thats my question) I have on order a OCZ 600W from NewEgg. A quick reply would be greatly appreciated and I can answer any questions you have!
Thanks,
Thideras
EDIT: I have also noticed that my +12V rail is supposedly running 16V, this might be a MB reading error, or it really is putting out 16v (which I doubt)
