Computer Wont Turn On

mecoatwar · 02-02-2008, 07:54 PM

Ok I was playing day of defeat source. When the computer just stopped, shut off and woudn't turn back on. I have a
windows xp SP2 OS,
2 evga 8800 GT video cards in Sli,
Intel core 2 duo d6850,
4 gigs of dominator ram ,
a 750 watt power supply,
a sound blaster X-FI Fatality
and my cpu is water cooled.
I had a Tripplite serge protector, but the battery inside died, so the battery part stopped working but not the serge protector part.
I tried plugging the computer into different sockets, unplugging and plugging it back in and I made sure the PSU was connected to the motherboard. Any tips would be appreciated.

What brand is the PSU and how many amps on the 12v+?

Can you get into the BIOS or does nothing show on the screen?

Sounds like processor or memory died

any fans spin when you first turn it on?
try clearing the cmos, pop the battery out for 30mins or so after you unplug the rig.

if you get it running download sensors view and let us know the temps and voltages.
