So I recently bought an Asus Sabretooth, i5 2500, 8 gigs Vengeance and was loving life. Then I got greedy and had a new Corsair 690 Advanced case, 750 Corsair PSU and another 460 GTX to try out SLI as well as a Cooler Master 212 Plus -my first time messing with a non-clippy cooler.
Now my PC won't boot nor make a sound tho all the lights and fans come on. The CPU LED is permanetly red and I think something got shorted when I applied the back bracket.
I then breadboarded the system with my old PSU, stock cooler outside the case and the result is the same. I think I killed something but how do I figure out if it's the Mobo or the CPU? I bought everything from Newegg and how do I go about this horrible mess- I've never had to send anything back after 5 years or so of building my own PC's.
I'm still a total noob and accept it's my fault -but the new cooler instructions are horrible and nowhere on any of the many youtube installation manuals did anyone mention this risk -tho I've seen the warning in a few forums now.... please help this computerless loser
