unklerosco

It was on all night, was using it this morn.. Turned it off went out for a while, when i came back n tried to turn it on it wont boot. The monitor just stays in standby... I can hear the Hds running but it doesn't seem to load as far as windows. Any ideas???

Check the RAM, swap it with some other RAM if you can. Make sure all cables are connected etc. etc., sounds like RAM/Mobo/CPU problem though.

Took the ram out n tried to boot without it to see what happens... Nothing. Theres no reason why it shouldn't be working... Bollocks is all i can say. Cant afford to be replacing parts, espec not another mobo. Tis my 4th this year!!! Not in the mood for this at all....

I had a similar problem with an asus mobo to fix it all I had to do was clear the cmos - check your motherboads manual
tis pretty easy take the battery out move a jumper away you go
worked for me

If you have reseated all components and cleared the cmos and still get nothing. I know it’s a big job but try rebuilding your pc outside the case, just motherboard, videocard, memory and PSU. I had a similar problem before and turned out to be the case touching of the motherboard causing a short.

leaving your speakers on will tell you easy enough if its getting into windows, you'll hear the startup sound.

maybe because you are over clocking, I dont really see the point in that tho!
