h sounds like a cascade failure. The PSU died and it took both the MB and
the CPU with it. I have seen that happen a lot of times. SOme of the cheaper
end server MB's still suffer from the capacitor plague as do a lot of the mid
and low end PSU's.
There are two companies I would buy PSU's
Hi All,
I thought I'd report back with the resolution to this mess. First of all,
thanks to all the helpful suggestions.
My power supply was in fact bad. My power supply was under warranty, but
Seasonic doesn't offer advanced shipping so, I had to buy a replacement from
Fry's during the
Intel support is freaking amazing from my experiences with them, so is EVGA
and Thermaltake. but i haven't talked to thermaltake in some time.

There can be all sorts of things that can make a machine not work.
Recently this beast died. It just went off like it would if the plug
had been pulled. I unplugged it and plugged it back in. The fan
started and it beeped then all went quiet again. I checked the power
supply. It was fine.
I have had very poor experience with the technical knowledge at fry's
electronics. Data doctors is good but pricy.
Some things you can try is pull all components except CPU and the rest the
bios. If you get beeps your board is not 100% gone.
The add one stick ram and video. If you still get beeps
Be sure to actually test the power supply. I've had servers that 'powered
up' that didn't really.

Have you inspected the motherboard to see if any of the capacitors are
swollen. 95% of the time when I have a hardware failure, it is a
capacitor. I use http://badcaps.net/ to get replacement capacitors when
I can easily identify a bad cap (they carry quality capacitors and I
have never had a
Hi All,
I'mhaving serious hardware issues with my maindev box and it is now completely
down.
It's a fairly high end custom system(RAID, customcooling,etc) that I built
myself and hasbeen quite stable for several years.
The box powers up and the LEDs on the motherboard light. But it never
