GA-X58-UD3R rev2.0- No post, no beep, no win load.

[Störung]

Hello,

I've a big problem now. Good week ago I found some time to try and place the Artic Turbo II cooler for my GTX 460 that had fan problem. No problem with that. Didn't immediatly have time to place the thing back in untill yesterday sunday. So I place the GTX 460 with Artic cooling block on it, connect everything. Want to start up but the fans start running, though with flashing ledlights and there is a continious beeping. All I can do is use the off button near the powercable to get disconnect power. I take the card back out and I see one cable of the Artic coolblack burned trough. Damned how can that happen?!
Anyways, then I just place my other GTX 460 back in (wich still worked right before I swapped) BUT: I give power, all fans start running, leds go on, leds on MB all go on like normal, but there get no post, there is not single beep, windows doesn't load, screen stays black as if the pc is off.

I tried already to get everything out like HD's, SSD's, writer, gpu card, usb3 controller and leave just one RAM module in it but it start up just the same. Fans go, leds on MB on but no post, beep, win load.
I have a guess it is or the power suply (800w silent pro gold) or the MB?

Someone here that has a clue maybe what could be wrong?!

Thanks

Well it could be the board or it could be the PSU. If you have another PSU try that first.

If that doesn't work than it could be the board when the card shorted out it could have cook the Pci-e slot.

Can you move the old card to another Pci-e slot and try it.

Hi,

I also tried the other graphic card (also gtx 460) in other Pci-e lane, but no result.

Later today I can pick up another PSU at a friends place to test if mine is still ok. I can also take extra graphic card along to check if it's the graphics card but I doubt that is causing this problem now of getting no post/beep my other gtx 460 should work just fine.

Could this have done more damage then my PSU or MB alone? Like my hdd's/ssd's, memory??

More likely it is the PSU or the MB or both. I had work on a computer that was hit lighting and the only thing it cook was the mother board.

Everything else was fine in the computer. It cook speakers, monitor, Printer, keyboard & mouse. So you never know what damage it can do.

Dang, do I come home with the PSU is it a 4pin 12V power connector instead 8pin.

Anyways, just checking the manual, when I powered after having placed the GPU with Artic cooler, I got continues beeps, but I don't remember if they were long or short beeps. Long = GPU not inserted properly and Short = Power error. The beeps went fast so I guess power error.
I'll have to wait untill tomorrow for another PSU to test.

Beeps:

1 short system boots successfully
2 short cmos setting error
1 long 1 short memory or system error
1 long 2 short Monitor or graphics card error
1 long 3 short keyboard error
1 long 9 short bios Rom error
continuous long beeps Graphics card error not inserted property
continuous short beeps Power error

I tested my PSU today with a multimeter and all values give ok.

Going to have to look up where I continue testing now to search what is bad.

Well, I tried everything I think. Other PSU, RAM, GPU, cleared cmos, removed battery several hours. Think only the MB remains :p
Got the CPU out the MB and putted all back in the box.

I got myself a new i5-3570K and tomorrow should arrive new MB GA-Z77X-UD4H.
