Frustrated

[skyline72]

My rig has been down and up, down and up since months ago.

Parts are on the right.

It can't seem to power up anytime I want it.
Mobo, KB will have light once I switched on my PSU.

But mobo can't seem to boot or even post at all.

Nothing wrong with PSU as I had jumpstarted it using the paperclip.

I RMA-ed the mobo before due to same problem in the past.

ASUS QC problem ?

Take out 1 video card and test.

If you have a 2nd motherboard, test using it. Had a similar problem just 1 month ago, my mobo cpu socket shorted. Check the socket for any bend pins. I am guessing that since you RMA-ed mobo before, it shld be your cpu.

It's a bit of hassle as I am on custom watercooling.

You have removable storage drive(s) connected to USB port during power on?

Nope. The usual mouse, keyboard, DAC.

The fun part of diy pc... Pc no issues wanna upgrade, don't mind removing. Pc loads of issue, lazy to take apart to diagnose.. Hahaha..

But I think what the other guy say may be true... Since motherboard rma maybe cpu issue..

 

[jtjt00]

If problem persists, you have no choice but to remove 2 graphics cards to test one by one.

It is really a hassle to remove some parts from the PC if you use a customized water-cooling system.

Quote for truth. DIY from start to end is a hassle.

From the motherboard to casing pins to drivers , to reseating cpu cooler and your watercooling. All sibeh leychey

The thing is, I am using copper pipes not the usual tubing.

The length and everything is different.

 

[sHrike]

well..no other way to troubleshoot that I know of...
change ur PSU ?
Change ur CPU?
Change ur Ram?
Cannot touch motherboard and gfx card..what else can you do?

Drain it out and once and for all troubleshoot everything one by one. Is either you get to the bottom of this or live with it. Which imo I think just drain it out and see how it goes.
