Hi everyone,
Well tonight I was testing my new 4.2oc on my i5 760 using prime95 and while testing my rig just died. When trying to power it back up all I get is a red light flash on my mb then nothing (Gigabyte P55A-US3). I was watching at the time and my temps were only 75 degrees, my vcore at 1.376 and prime had been running for about 2hrs fine. I tried disconnecting non essentials and still nothing. Tried removing the CMOS battery and that didn't work. I had just reseated and repasted my cooler but that was a good few hrs before it died. Like I said, my temps never exceeded 75 on coretemp. I have just tried the paperclip test and I get a flash of lights from my led fans I left connected via molex then they stop. Sound like the PSU? I did get it off a mate, used. I will be having to dig deep and hunt for a used PSU as money is tight but if its the mb I'll have to sell it all as reasonable 1156 boards at good prices seem rare. I only bought this one about 6 weeks ago as a clearance bargain from a well known online retailer! My only worry is that my keyboard has a led logo on it and that still lights when connected.
Any input will be greatly received
