Trouble shooting - system wont boot anymore


Recommended Posts

My system wont boot up and cant figure it out - if its the PSU or MB - i am not sure if i am running too much power for the PSU - how can i figure that out ? i had 2 TT smart case fans on the fan header - i wanted to connect them to the PSU directly and add a spot fan connected to the Fan header for the chip on the board - it was having a hard time booting or posting - i finally got it to boot once and i changed the fan speed for the Spot fan with Smart to run faster - then i rebooted and it didnt boot anymore - i tried everything - i have the fan off the board - and no fan headers on the board connected now - just pump - one HD - and all power connectors on the board - but it wont boot or even post - one thing - some WC fluid did leak on the board - but its fluid xp and shouldnt damage it right ? - i dried it up - it wasnt a lot - but around cpu block - the yellow lights comes on the board - sometimes the yellow light near the memory dosnt come on but then it did - there are no beeps or anything - seems like its the PSU - but not sure if i have very little connected to it now and still wont post - the Fans i have use 0.12 - 0.48 amp each -- and i have 5 connected - plus the WC pump , two HD - CD rom and DVD rom drive and one UV Light - -- shouldnt 580W and combined 12volt rail at 38A be enough ?

 

i dont know if its the PSU or the MB now - and dont know how to rule either one out -

 

Also i remember seeing a chechsum error when it posted and i went to the bios and reset it to defaults -- how can i know how many amps i got on each Rail and how can i connect all my fans , pump etc. to each rail of the PSU - to even out the load if thats the problem - for now i have it clearing the Cmos for the night and try it tomorrow - or else i send the PSU back - but i am not sure the PSU is the problem 100% -- seems like its not getting enough power

 

i called FrozenCpu where i got the PSU and told them and they said sent it back and they send a new one -- but i hope the new one works with everything i have - its been working fine for a year - just happen today when i wanted to add the spot fan and take 2 fans off the MB header and put it right the PSU - --

 

any ideas what i can try to rule out the MB ?
