cjoe7 Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 After swapping my watercooling system for another, my system will not boot now. Motherboard shows 2 leds and does not beep. I've verified my video card, memory, and cpu are good. Is my motherboard dead? When I power on, 3 Leds flash on then revert to 2 Leds. Anyone got any ideas? I've swapped memory, cpu, and video with no luck. Currently, I'm clearing my cmos without the battery and power plugged in. cjoe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnDborder Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 I too have 2 leds and nothing. After doing cmos clearing and all the rest of the stuff. I had 2 leds showing before I powered up with the jumper in the wrong place. What does 2 leds mean? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 Hello, Was the chipset cooled by water or were you using the standard chipset cooler? If you were using a water block, maybe you damaged the chipset? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnDborder Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 On mine, it was air. The fan was operating on the chipset hs. Now I get nothing. I get the little amber lights but nothing else. Nothing, no fans, no red leds like before. The board is out of the case with just v.card, cpu, and various sticks of ram. I even tried a pci v.card, no go. RMA time?

red930 Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 Here is the way to read the Diagnostic LEDs. 4 LEDs on = Power applied, checking CPU 3 LEDs on = CPU has been detected OK, checking RAM 2 LEDs on = RAM has been detected OK, checking VGA 1 LED on = VGA has been detected OK, entering BIOS 0 LEDs on = System has booted to the Operating System. As long as you are in the BIOS including running memtest from the BIOS option, there will be one LED on. Example: If you are getting 3 LEDs on, it means the rig is having trouble detecting the RAM. The lower(PCI) Amber LED is the 5VSB indicator. The upper Amber LED is the RAM voltage indicator. Once the rig has started and been shut down the RAM LED will go out until the PSU is power cycled.
