780i Malfunction

[bartheke]

This rig is only a couple weeks old but has been performing flawlessly until this evening. The system shut itself down and won't boot.

The blue diode is active, and when I attempt to power up the amber becomes active. However, the green diode/system fans/cpu fan/memory leds on flash on then off again.

I was able to CMOS reset/battery removal once to get the system running; however, this resulted in red artifacting on my display from power up through Windows boot/run.

Removing/moving memory modules has had no effect.

Can you remove the 8800GTS and try another card? Even a PCI card will work to see if it results in a functional system. Do you have another power supply, 600W or higher if using the 8800GTS, that you can try in the system?

It was the 8800 GTS 512mb.


Thank You
