Don't you just hate it when...

[lobadobadingdong]

...you get a brand new 480W Thermaltake silent-pure power psu (to replace a 300W POS), a brand new 7000b-cu hsf (to replace a speeze whisperock), and 6 new 80mm Panaflo L1A's and your best system refuses to boot after the upgrade. :|

I'm guessing my motherboard is dead (I will know for sure tomorrow), I've got another system to test with, but I'm giving up for tonight.

(I'm a seasoned tech, so no need to offer help with troubleshooting.....although I might need a replacement nforce2-ultra motherboard (or processor) soon though )

UPDATED 08-17-05 :thumbsup:
I got my main rig back up, bought an nf7-s and a mobile athlonXP2400+ from the fs/t threads. luckily I need only minimal driver updates and had to re-activate windows and office. downside is my new heatsink won't work with this board because of capacitor height.

Updated again 8-25-05
Got another 2400+ from Jeff7, but I just found out that I have somehow managed to nick a uCapacitor between my northbridge and cpu socket

I have a WTB thread going in FS/T at the moment. (if anyone has a spare shuttle mn31n or a biostar m7ncg 400 laying around I'd be thrilled to give it a good home)

Does the motherboard have power? have you swapped out psu's?

I'll stop there. Best of luck lobadobadingdong!

LOL, yes and yes. no beep codes with stripped down board, flea power and nic are on, but nothing else.

I had fun last night too. I have 2 almost indentical systems, but one had a board die. So I spend a few weeks looking for a replacement board. I finally get one and it wont boot it gets half way through that ram chack and stops. We will call this system B. So I take the hard drive from System B and put it in System A and I not have my setiqueue/webserver back. I then take the drive from system A, put it in system B and it starts to post, but give me a boot disk failure. What? So I switch the drives again and system A fires right up and system B stops at the ram check.

I gave up!

well, looks like I have a bad motherboard, and now 2 bad processors , so now my home server is also out of commission for little while.
