PC died today, here's the story:
I just installed a new water cooling unit recently, everything was running fine. Until today, I left my pc on standby mode. About five hours later I came back, it never booted up. I tried to turn it on and off. All I got was black screen with power LED on. there was this one time the mobo gave me beeps, but I couldn't remember what it was. Then, I reset the pc hoping it would give beep code again. However, it never did. So i decided to open my computer and checked if anything was wrong, but they all looked perfect. I then reseated my cpu, turned the pc back on. It still had the same problem, but this time with power LED off. I can tell the cpu was still generating heat from the temperature probe on water cooling unit and everything seemed to have power.
Then a friend of mine suggested me to reset BIOS, I think I did the right thing but no luck.
Because I have no other hardware to test with, my guess is that I burned out the CPU on standby mode, because waterblock wasn't good enough to remove heat from CPU without water flowing in it when on standby mode. The PSU cut off the power on water cooling. And, I'm not sure what my computer is doing on standby mode. Can someone please help me on what my situation could be? anything would be really appreciated.
Here's the spec of my pc:
mobo: ECS nFORCE 570 SLIT-A V5.1
CPU: intel core 2 duo E6300 1.86G
RAM: supertalent 1gig DDR2 667
gfx: biostar nvidia 6600le
water cooling: COOLER MASTER RL-HUC-E8U1 Liquid Cooling System
Thank you
