Ok, here's a game for everyone
My system spec is 2600+ OC'ed to 200x11 with vcore at 1.675v. 2 x 512MB Corsair XMS XL Pro. 6800GT at stock. Abit NF7-S v2.0 and an antec neopower modular PSU.
It won't boot. I was having problems with it beforehand as it kept restarting at random (i mean totally arbitrary restarts) and wouldn't let me boot until i reset the CMOS values.
So i decided to change the PSU (went from an enermax active PFC 460 Watt to the neopower). I just wanted to rule out a factor. I booted up and as soon as it powered up it powered down again. Obviously a PSU protect mode, so i checked all connections, all fine. Put the rocker switch back and forth for good measure and booted. No POST. Reset CMOS values. No POST. All fans come on, all lights are happy EXCEPT for the lights on the RAM (the pro has memory indicators). So no power getting to the RAM.
So, i resat everything and tried both PSU's and tried every combination i could possible think of. Now, don't post back and say "have you tried without..." etc because i promise you, i have tried every possible combination with both PSU's.
I'm thinking perhaps dead BIOS, the restarts indicated perhaps a faulty BIOS in the first place so perhaps the PSU change topped it off. Any other ideas? Fortunately i've got my laptop so it hasn't affected my work.
Cheers
