Hey guys,
Long title, huh?
So I got this new CPU Cooler (Noctua C14) today for my i5 2500K after Ryan suggested it in overclocking forum to me. I did a little overclocking before installing the new cooler to compare the stock and C14 temps. (OC was stable, did it with Ai Suite)
I removed every component besides cpu and stock hsf and took out the motherboard to install the NH-C14 (after reading manual and watching a video on youtube.)
I was very careful about static and I used a very small amount of TIM. Put everything back, connected power cables (both)...
But when I turned it on everything seemed to be working perfectly (No screen), fans, hdd, dvdrom all turned on but after like 2-3 seconds it shut itself down and then after like 4-5 seconds it turned itself back On, (fans, hdd, everything was on. It'll stay on until I hold the power button to turn it off.)
But There's no screen (it's like monitor is sleeping), no post, no beep(s)...
System Specs:
Cpu: Core i5 2500k
Mobo: Asus P8P67
Ram: 2x2 Corsair xms
Gpu: Gigabyte 6970 2gb
Power: 685W
I searched the forums to find a solution but all to no avail.
These are somethings I did to try to find the problem:
1.checked every cable, everything seems to be perfectly connected
2.I checked if I plugged NH-C14 fans into CPU_Fan socket on motherboard. (although C14 fans are 3 pins! they aren't pwm, not sure if that's related)
3.Plugged C14 in another socket and plugged the old stock hsf in CPU_Fan just to see if motherboard was detecting a fan signal and didn't automatically shutdown everything.
4.Tried with only one ram stick.
5.Tried with no ram stick (No beep)
6.took out gpu, with ram and no ram (No beep)
7.Checked the Power/Reset switches
8.Tried reseting cmos
I'm really getting desperate and hoping there's nothing wrong with my mobo or cpu... and it's just a simple mistake.
Thank you,
Pooya
