Hi Guys,
Hope some one here can help me out and save my mind... here goes
My machine was on unattended churning away at some number crunching and when I checked up on it later it was off, tried turning it on and nothing..lights on the motherboard are on but just won't boot, the GPUs fans that normally spin up on boot don't even spin up, nothing in the case seems to work, ALL fans in the case are dead and are not spinning up (Connected to the Scythe Kaze fan controller), except the Hard drives these seem to work fine and I can here them spin up, I am using 2 PSUs with a proper dual PSU adapter that my case came with see below for full spec of my hardware (The PC is 2 years old but had been in use recently for over 15 weeks constantly on, restarted here and there for updates etc)
RIG spec:
PC case SilverStone TJ11
Asus RAMPAGE IV EXTREME/BF3 Intel X79 Socket 2011 Motherboard - Water cooled
Intel Core i7-3930K 3.20GHz (Sandybridge-E) Socket LGA2011 Processor - Running at 4.25Ghz OC - Water cooled
AMD XFX 7990 X3
GSkill Ripjaws Z Series 2133 CL 11.0 16GB Memory Kit - Red (4 x 4GB, DDR3, Quad Channel, Intel XMP Certified)
Tough Power 1200 Watt PSU X1
Silverstone Zues 1350 PSU X1 (NEW Only 1 and 1/2 Months old)
OCZ Vertex 3 SSD X 1
256GB Samsung SSD X 1
250GB Seagate X 3
1TB Seagate ST31000340NS Barracuda X 3
3TB Seagate ST3000DM001 Barracuda 7200 SATA III 6GB/s 7200rpm 64MB Cache X 3
Water cooling (Custom build)
Scythe Kaze Master Ace Black 5.25inch Fan Controller X 2
I individually tried each PSU but the Zues seems to have slight different 8 pin connector for the CPU connector, I originally was using the Tough Power 1200 watt PSU for the Main board and the Zues was just for the GPUs (3X XFX 7990s)
The system was not on a surge protector could BOTH of the PSU have been fried they spin up when testing with paperclip but could some of the rails inside the PSU lets say the just the CPU rails failed somehow?!?!? I hope its the PSU rather that the MB as the MB is water cooled and would be a headache to swap out!
It wasn't the usual... "lets upgrade this RIG with new RAM/CPU/COOLER WB/ GPU/ BIOS etc... Oh Oh that spark didn't look good" type of situation so naturally I am annoyed and baff'd as to what happened/caused this!
Just to add further tardness to the situation and To top it off I ordered new WB for the GPUs which were out of stock when placing order in December 2013 and waited all Jan 2014 and NOW Feb they are in stock and shipping
Please could someone shed some light on this dire situation, it would REALLY REALLY help me out.
Save me losing heart in custom PCs
Many thanks for anyone help in resolving this situation.
