System Ginds to halt on Boot device detection

[Gon667]

Hi there,

I've been browsing your forum to find an answer, but it seems only lucky me hangs at this point:

I got myself some new toys and assembled them into my Tower:

Kingston Hyper X Genesis 32GB Ram Kit (KHX1600C9D3K8/32GX)
S-2011 ASUS P9X79, ATX (90-MIBHE0-G0AAY00Z)
Intel Core I7 - 3990K, 3,2Ghz, LGA2011, 6-Core (BX80619I73930K)
SATA 6GB/s WD Green 1TB HD 64MB Cache (WD10EZRX)
NOCTUA NH-L12 Cooler
Intel 330 SSD 180GB (SSDSC2CT180A3K5)
PCI-E 2.0 ZOTAC GeForce GT620 Synergy Edition, retail, 1024 (ZT-60502-10L)

First, the System stopped at the RAM check, but thanks to the RAM-OK button, it continued, but soon ground to a halt at it's boot-device check with it's light glowing red and the bios signal (1 long, 4 short) telling me pretty much nothing.

It does not matter, which Sata Slot I use nor which HDD (or even none). Since it does not display anything on the screen at this point, I'm pretty much stumped.

Any clues?

OK, back to close the Thread: After fiddlicg around for a while, the monitor DID come to life and lo and behold: I was able to go into the BIOS.

It was My fan (actually the secondary fan) which was going to slow for the mainboard. Since this is one huge Monster of a fan, I disabled the warning and voila, boot resumed.

Just wanted to close the thread.
