Answer» Comp Specs- Jetway HA06 mobo
AMD Phenom x4 9850 black edition (don't overclock)
Stock HEATSINK/CPU fan.
G. Skill RAM (only have one 1GB stick in there now, for trial and error)
Windows Home Edition SP3
Radeon HD 4670 Graphics Card.
4 inch fan in back to take hot air out.
I cleaned my computer last night, because it was running hot (about 50C, usually about 42C), so I took the heatsink off, rinsed it out completely with water, let it dry while I dusted everything else. Reapplied thermal GOO. Put heatsink back on, along with all other COMPONENTS. Then started computer. It started FINE, heard the POST 'beep' after it finished, then windows started. Being interested about tracking my temp, I started up speedfan, and it said my temp was 60C on processor, 55C in cores. So, I open back up my computer and my CPU fan isn't spinning (all other fans are though). I shut my computer off (holding power button) and let it cool down. Then, I plugged it into the wall on my workbench, played with the CPU fan a little, and it started working again. However, my motherboard will not pass POST now, nor display any LED lights showing it entering POST. I've checked for shorts, cleaned and reapplied thermal goo about 5 times, and still nothing. I just want a second opinion, but does that sound like a motherboard being fried?
EDIT- My motherboard will display the blue light, showing it is getting power, and switches red as always when it starts.
(This is the GT picture, just using it because it's bigger than the picture for what I have.)

If you look in the bottom left, you see a horse looking thing, that lights up blue when getting power and when turned on, switches red. Right beside it is the spot where hex codes are displayed through POST.It might have come from one fan that you mention is not spinning and otherwise if core temps, processors are too high then thermal sensors would shut the computer down. Have you tried cross-referencing other Hardware monitor for the CPU temps? You may need to replace or add another fan for your cooling system. Make sure you apply the right amount of grease for the heatsink... You must not ALSO clean/soak heatsink with water. Is the computer able to boot(then hangs?) or shutsdown?Comps temperature wasn't high according to friend with same processor, he even runs aftermarket.
Computer won't even pass POST, so I can't get any info. Hardware isn't working right somewhere.
On my Eris, laptop decided to start BSODing after I booted it and let it update. Hope what I said makes sense.Quote Computer won't even pass POST Which means no Beeps then shutdsdown...? Let's assume here that you have a good PSU first... for testing. ? The Fan you mention is for the outake of heat? Make sure also no clogging(cables,connectors) for right airflow inside the CPU when everything is assembled. ? Try first replacing a fresh CMOS battery and check if it can get past POST test. IF your have 2 RAMS, swap test on mobo,slots(CPU unplugged) then boot.My comp doesn't have a beep and will run forever if I let it.
Replaced CMOS battery, didn't work.
Ran RAM through all slots, didn't work (with CPU in)
Will run through without CPU after posting, and will edit if it works.
My PSU is putting out the right volts, so it is good.
I did realize that because its not displaying hex codes where it should, unless the screen is broken (doubt it is), it is not even entering POST. QuoteWill run through without CPU after posting, and will edit if it works.
This makes no sense at all...
It makes my hands dirty, and I'm on a touch screen phone.
Either way, it didn't work.Quote from: hobogunner on November 13, 2010, 10:41:38 AMIt makes my hands dirty, and I'm on a touch screen phone.
Either way, it didn't work.
This makes even less sense...Well, sense is a matter of perception. Took comp into a store for them to figure it out. Should hear back Monday. Now to tackle my laptops BSOD.
