I couldn´t believe it. The Thermaltake PSU is dodgy as hell. it works on my old MB but only sometimes. When i tested it, it worked. Now i know its defective to some degree because i plugged in a spare cheap as crap psu and the rig came to life immediatly. sadly that sh*tty psu is only a 430W without pci-e connectors. So now the rig is running on MB graphics slow as hell but its runnung at least. Gotta admit though that the thermaltake psu was very old (going on 8 years i believe.)&nbsp;<div>Well time for a new PSU. And goddam me for falling for that false positive with the old MB.</div><div><br></div><div>Sry for all the hassle. And Thanks alot for the help!</div><div>sincerly Ben (slightly embaressed)</div>]]>

I did not leave the system 4 hours without power. If my current try does not work i will try clearing the CMOS again. This time i will try it with the full 4 hours. Last time i cleared CMOS was a few years back so i was not aware that it takes this long with newer boards. Last time i did this it took just 10 minutes.<div><br></div><div>I will try the LAN Port aswell.</div><div><br></div><div>Next thing on my list is your approach to unplug everything except RAM and CPU.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you a lot for your help.</div>]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://forum.asrock.com/member_profile.asp?PF=140">Xaltar</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 2428<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 12 Apr 2016 at 6:35am<br /><br />Clearing CMOS via battery removal often requires the system to be left without the battery (and disconnected from power) for anywhere up to 4 hours. Simply disconnecting power and removing then replacing the battery will not clear the CMOS completely. The fact that you say you will try to leave the system unpowered for an hour to test leads me to believe that you may not have left the battery out long enough when you tried to clear CMOS (or the system would have already been unpowered for an hour while you cleared CMOS by removing the battery).<div><br></div><div>The power cord must be removed from the back of the PSU or from the wall during a battery removal clear or the power from the PSU will prevent the CMOS from clearing.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Power is getting to your keyboard so something is happening, another useful test is attaching a LAN cable to the LAN port and a router/swtich, if the LAN LEDs light up then there is power getting to the system. Your keyboard lights are flashing however so that isn't necessary in your situation as we know power is getting to the keyboard, briefly as it may be.</div><span style="font-size:10px"><br /><br />Edited by Xaltar - 12 Apr 2016 at 6:37am</span>]]>

Most often in situations like this it is the PSU, you say you have checked that but you did not mention how. If you used the paperclip test then that is <b style="font-style: italic;">not </b>a definitive test method as it does not apply any real load to the PSU's rails. The <b><i>only</i></b> way to actually test a PSU (without expensive testing equipment) is to try it on another system.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>If you have done this and the PSU is working then I would check the CPU socket for any burn marks/bent pins. If that is all clear then try powering on the system with no RAM installed, if the system powers up and beeps (RAM missing error code) then it may be the RAM or CPU that have become faulty. If the board does not power on even without RAM installed then it is likely the board has failed, in which case you should be able to start the RMA process given the system is only a month old and should still be covered by warranty.</div><div><br></div><div>Let us know how it goes, good luck <img src="https://forum.asrock.com/smileys/smiley20.gif" border="0" alt="Thumbs Up" title="Thumbs Up" />&nbsp;</div>]]>
