Boot/motherboard issue

Burgo

So to cut a long story short,
today my corsair h60 and 8gb of g.skill ram arrived. Up until now the PC has been working perfectly.
Removed my old cooler master hyper 212 and installed the h60 and ram on my msi p67a gd65, when i tried to boot all the fans spin up for about a second and one of APS leds flashes aswell.

Tried all the usual steps, removed mobo from case, only had the bare minimum on and still get the same as above.

Anyone have any ideas? Is it time for a new mobo?:(
Thanks in advance.

spec:
i5 2500k
p67a gd65
h60
asus 5850
crucial m4
8gb g.skill ripjaws x
xfx core 650w
f3 1tb

Check to see if it's installed right, I'm not sure about the h60, but the h80 has a cable that plugs into the CPU fan header. If its not connected the mobo does not get any feedback from the fan and may be showing a faulty fan.

Yeah I checked the cooler it appeared to be working grand, fan spinning up etc. even reinstalled the old cooler and still the same.

Try re installing the old ram,making sure its seated right etc

Also try hooking up a speaker to it incase your getting beep codes and not hearing them

Thanks for the advice, will check the memory when I get home.

Basically you have to remove and put everything back together a few times until it works, this happens me. A problem for no reason when building. Last time it happened, a few days ago when upgrading, I blew on my computer components and it started working again.

Blowing my components didn't work unfortunately
Did everything I could think of and still no joy.
Guess I get to see what these z77 motherboards are like so!

Hmm not sure what to do so, it's always likely to be some random little thing that's stopping you, rather than the component happening to break when you changed something. Who knows, maybe static electricity or something broke it.

Hello,

I don't know if it is the same problem but I bought a P67A-GD65 mobo and when I power on it, the mobo was in a boot loop. After lot of tries, I have seen on the MSI site that for the kind of RAM I use, it was necessary to push the OC button. After that, I maintain the switch power during about 30 s in order to the system is auto configured.

Now, eveything works normally.

RAM used :
Corsair - CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 - Mémoire RAM - DDR3 1600 - 8 Go COR CL9 Vengeance Kit

Cheers for the advice man, will give it a shot when I get home.

If that doesn't work you could try leaving it by the bin and threatening to throw it out like Tea Bag did a few days ago. :pac:
