[Peteruk]

its the same scenario for me...........i dont have any other ram to test so will have to take it to office tom morning and try a different ram..........

Only yours worked for 2 days.

Who knows what its done but you did say the system was shocking with static electricity which I guess you mean you touch the case and you got a shock? If you'd of used the PSU that you got now it might of tripped an overload protection feature.

With an luck its just taken out the mobo...do you see any burn makes?

You can try clearing CMOS but it might not fix this...       

No burn marks nor smell............. i tried clearing the cmos by tripping the jumper as well as removing the mobo battery.......... still no change...............

quoting your last post on 2 days working........... i guess the static thing MAY have fried the ram or board or cpu........ but i'm only guessing........... have to check it with other parts tomorrow at office........... but if you can help check by some other way it would be much appreciated.........

When you are ready we can continue with the external build and see what transpires. It could be practically anything that is causing the fault so we need to be methodical.

Try booting without the mouse or keyboard connected. Could be as simple as a dead mouse or keyboard and worth eliminating.

Guys........ would you believe it.......... it the electric grounding that was missing in the AC wire pin connecting the PSU.......... the AC pin i used and that which came with the new psu had only two heads and that was causing it to shock with static electricity...........

I realised it when i took it to my office and there the AC pin was already set and immediately reaised that it was not shocking......... i got a new three pin AC wire and VOILA!!!!!!! the system started............ no problem at all........... thanks a ton guys for all the help........... really appreciate it........... you guys cost me US $50  for the new PSU but i can live with it............

Hi pleased you got it sorted and sorry that it cost you $50 but, who would've guessed that would be your problem?

Really? The pic shows here for your new PSU a three pin headed.

I didnt buy from new egg........... i bought it from a local vendor......... i guess in dubai gigabyte ships it with two headed pins since the pack i bought had the poly wrap on so no tampering there...........

Such a simple thing and yet it causes so much trouble. This is why I ask people to make sure they have put their locations on the Profile so that we know what power is being used amoungst other things. Your new PSU will last you much longer anyway and will be more reliable.

Ok lets say it did come with a two headed pins you said from the start  “ Was working for 2 days ok with win 7 ultimate” this was with the old PSU with what ever AC cable it come with. You then did some wiring for the case fan controller and with that same PSU SAME AC cable it made the system not boot.

Now something is a miss with your story.

Ok... let me get it from the top... bought the hardware as mentioned in the spec...assembled everything... booted fine... didnt experience any shocks myself or maybe i was grounded then... installed win 7... worked for 2 days... then redid wiring for the case fan... thats when i got the static shock for the first time... failed to boot... realised that the psu was not earthed due to missing ground pin in the AC wire... replaced the wire... booted fine... thats it...

Let's not forget the main point here and that is that this member's computer is now fixed and working fine. This is what we are here for after all, to help people out. A good end to the problem.
