Hi everyone,
I've bought parts for a new computer last week. the parts are as follow:
- asus p5n32-e sli plus
- e6400 and scythe ninja with arctic silver 5
- team xtreem ddr2-800 2x1GB 4-4-4-10
- ocz gamexstream 700w
- bfg 7600 gt oc
- 2x seagate 7200.10 250 gb drive on raid 0
- pulled off dvd-rw / floppy / x-fi xtrememusic off my old pc, an xp-2500m
- fresh install of xp-sp2
First, a little history background on me: I've upgraded parts, drives, ram, cpu before, but this is my first time building a pc from scratch.
Last week when I put together my computer, installed xpsp2, drivers and stuff. I did plan to oc but I haven't actually started any yet. It's running on stock speed, spd timing. I had rivatuner installed, but didn't change anything at all. I ran prime95 first thing for about 8 hours, completed memtest86, also ran 3dmark 03/05/06 without any lockups. I've played video files, played a few games (bf2, ffxi, etc.), and I would consider it stable. I dont normally run a temp. monitor program, but i had one open while i was running prime, and it's 42C after 8 hours of prime.
Yesterday there was a random screen froze, and I had to reboot, but I'm not sure if it's relevant.
Early tonight, I was playing another old game, and I got the blue screen of death, on a ctaud2k.sys. I couldn't remember the exact error msg of it. I restarted in a rush, since I was trying to get back to game, and the computer wouldn't post. Normally, when the pc is restarted, all fans would run on full speed for about 2 to 3 seconds, and then they would slow down, then the ASUS boot logo would pop, and then keyboard lights would light up (on usb) and i can enter bios or whatever; but this time, all fans continued to run on full speed, and the monitor stayed black (on standby mode).
I resetted again without much luck, then I tried removing the sound card since i notice ctaud2k.sys is a creative driver, but no good. Then I went from clearing cmos to swapping rams to removing and reconnecting every pieces of the computer, and the same problem still exist.
I'm trying to diagnose what's wrong with the computer, but i'm not sure exactly how. The computer never made a beep, and the fact that it won't post or even show its boot logo means there isn't much I can look at. Whenever I plugged in the power to the psu the green led on the motherboard would light up, and that's pretty much all clues I have. And when I power up, all fans would be running (3x case, psu, one on the graphics card, and the one attached to the heatsink)
I'm guessing it's a cpu/mobo/ram problem (and/or), but I couldn't be sure. Could someone give me some pointers? Am i missing anything?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
