I have a nvidia 680i SLI, wich i have had for a long time.
Tonight when i woke up, my comp was dead, no response to anything i do, i click the on button, the fans start for 1 second then stops. I figure its the PSU its a problem with.

I buy a new OCZ 600w power supply today. I hook it onto my computer, wire everything up.

I press ON! The computer runs now, fans are working, hard-drives making noise, lights blinking etc.

But, there is nothing on the monitor, and no power to my mouse & keyboard.
And on the motherboard LED code panel i get error code: "16"

I checked it up in the manual, it means: "Init clock - initialize onboard clock generator"

This is where i am stuck! :\



I've tried to unplug my all my ram, have 1 chip of ram in, unhook my hard-drives, resetting bios.


Please help!

It's probable your motherboard konked out when your PSU did. Is it possible to test your components on another motherboard?

Make sure the CPU 4 pin power is plugged in, and reset the cmos. But its highly probable when the PSU blew it took everything else with it.
