Shuttle Stupidity

Been running my SN45 for quite a while now and on both aircooling and the watercooling set-up's i've used i've only had a few teething problems with overheating etc.

3 days ago I came to turn the system on and it refused to post, no signal through to the screen or anything. I've bled the watercooling system, re-seated the cpu several times, checked the ram and the gfx card.

I've gone through just about every check I can think of with it and nothing happens, it just sits there hdd whirring and fan on full until i pull the plug.

Anyone got any idea's as to what this could be caused by? And if people tell me its the hdd i'm going to be rather annoyed as i've only just formatted and re-installed :mad:

Might be your bios has corrupted.This happened to me but it was my gfx card that had died but you say you have checked yours.It may be your mobo has died.I hope not ..

I've had similar problems, changed graphics card, memory, psu and even motherboard! to no effect. I can only think of two things, aliens or the full moon, but seriously what else can it be, stupid computers.

CPU?

I just had to RMA an sk83g cos after every 10th reboot it would sit there with te fans blaring, but not actually restarting.

Shuttle told me to check my chip cooling and reset the bios...... no good.

New Shuttle eliminated problem.

sorry Bud.

mine doesn't boot at all. i can't even get into the bios. i go and turn it on, like 5 seconds it turns off by it self. i have more less bought a new computer. i bought all new stuff cpu, memory, video, psu. i think its the power switch but they have it wired on a circuit board, so its hard to test. can someone please help

Sounds like overheating protection.

Did you ever sort this as I have the exact same problem !

yes i fixed it and it was a overheating problem. i installed a new cpu, thermal paste and shim. guess what, that stupid shim was the problem. the stupid thing worked fine for 8 months with the shim. now i got enough parts to build another. maybe the wife will let out of the doghouse to build it. thanks for asking
