Splave Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 Hey guys, just swapped out the ultra PSU for an OCZ 700watt GameXstream system booted up great. I burned a cd, surfed the net for while and then all of a sudden bang(not litterally) the comp shuts down. So I try to start it back up and the fans turn on for maybe 1/2 a second and then shuts back down. I tryed the long CMOS clear, same thing. Then I tryed the old PSU, same thing. Tryed each ram stick one at a time, same thing. Then I tryed a complete tear-down of my rig meaning everything out of my case, and unhooked everything and put it back together. Same damn thing. Any Ideas or should I just go ahead and RMA back to newegg? PS no bad blood towards DFI Was a great board while it lasted, my e6600 will be friendless for a week or so.

flyboy14295 Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 I know these are different processors totally, but my expert did that to me too a few weeks ago. But that was because of my stupidity and shorted teh board out. Are you sure no loose metal is or was in the case? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splave Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 I dont think so, but is a possibility. What did you do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WintersFury Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 Certainly seems like you covered all the bases with your testing. I had something similar happen to me, but it was the psu as one of my spares is working fine in the system while it's rmaing. I'd guess yer going to have to rma stuff. Though someone else may have another idea to try before you do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyboy14295 Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 I tried putting a PCI card in the cpu while it was on. VERY DUMB IDEA(possibly fatal) Luckily, I was touching a plastic part of the card and when the metal touched two capaciters, -------zip. And never turned back on. Just got it back from RMA today and works like a charm again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malatory Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Do you have a stick or two of RAM that was not in this system before. Sound a little like the RAM issue you can have with the infinity board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splave Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 nopers, RMA'd but it was my vid card. HR-05 touched the top and zip fried the card Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malatory Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Have you had good luck with the 680i board? Mine will be here tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReelFiles Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 I just lucked out on my wife's PC; I installed a new video card and the cooler actually pushed down on the PCI card below it. Luckily I noticed before turning the rig on, that would have definitely fried something. Good luck to ya. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
