Please help … Pulled out nearly all of my hair …..
I have a i7 920 never oc'd with a Foxconne fireblade gti which has been working fine for a couple of years then all of a sudden it went in a coma , no bios, no signel, just all fans working and 3 leds on board light up blue,red, yellow but strangely, the onboard debug 2 digitial led displays showing boot status codes do not light up or display.
So I feared a power spike, as around that time, a electricity surge happened and part of the village, shops and school were all without power for a good few hours after that power spike.
I tested it with and without the Radeon video 6970 card but no difference.
I tried all combo's of ram, CPU fans, nothing, then I changed the PSU for a new Corsair but still nothing, I took a deep breath, waved goodbye to £110 and bought another brand new Foxconne Fireblade GTI, aaarrrhh.. still nothing ...this new mobo was showing the same signs as my old trusty one.
So I took CPU off, clean and replenished with fresh paste and double checked mounting etc...guess what? Nothing aaaarrrhhhh
Now I'm way out of depth, I need serious help, I have tested:
Motherboard...no, GPU...no, Ram...no, PSU...no, cmos jumper..no,
it can't be the CPU... can it? That's only a 1 in 1000 chance so what do I do ? PLEASE HELP ME
