Inu_Yasha Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 (edited) Ok, here's what's going on. I got a watercooling system setup on this comp, but it started leaking last night. I cleaned everything off and used a hair dryer to dry everything. Well, I tried to turn it on today and nothing comes up! I've tried two vid cards (the one with watercooling and my mx420) and still nothing comes up on screen. It is also not making any post beeps... Can anyone think of anything else that could be the problem? I have to go deliver the comp in an hour so I really need help please. Also, where should I place the temp probe for the cpu? I placed it on the integral heat spreader (on top). Is that ok or where should it go? Edited August 10, 2003 by Inu_Yasha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravix Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 Do you have any spare parts laying around you can swap in? I would tend to say you have a dead mobo, because of the complete lack of beeps. :shrug: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentsoundguy32 Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 you put the temp probe on top?!?! as in between the CPU and Heat sink. if so thats bad and you fryed your CPU. it should be placed right next to the CPU as close as you can get it, but not on top.

LobbDogg Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 Also you should use distilled water for next time too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
O(V)eGA_l2el) Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 Well...you had a leak in your system..which sucks..your motherboard and maybe every other component could be fryed...Im not ready to convert to water-cooling just yet and water is the main reason hehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
william488 Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 take out the memory, you should get a beep out of that if that doesn't work the my guess is that the mobo is gone. this happened to me once, and i took out the memory and got the error beeps, so i figured it was the video, and it was. hope that helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinal Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 thats why you read up om water cooling before you do it i was told to run the water cooling setup outside the case for at least 24 hours checking to see if it leaks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inu_Yasha Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 Actually, it was the mobo... Thanks for all the responses!!! What happened was everything ran fine out of the case, but when I put the stuff in and ran it, the resovior started leaking! It got on the graphics card and the mobo, but the card is ok (luckly). I switched out the mobo with one from a hp and everything turned on fine! I'm going to rma the board and hopefully everything will be ok (the mobo could have been doa as well, but I'm not too sure). Also, what's a good way to stablize the temperature probe? Thanks again for all the help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
