powered down unpluged cord pushed the button ... put cord in PSU tried to power up and nothing ... the lights that normally come on even when my computer is off are not even coming on .. did it fry my mobo?

did it fry my mobo?

yes :(
no, just joking...check your PSU may be, you can't kill a mobo by resetting the CMOS.

gotta be a poor connection on the psu, like he said clr cmpos WIL NOT kill a board, also theres a switch under the cmos battery did you but that to the on position to use the cmos button? if so you HAVE to put it back on the off position.

i did that and still nothing ... the ROG light and the sound card lights wont come back on ... and i jammed the power plug in to make sure it was fully in and nothing happened ... everything worked great its all brand new ... until i hit the clear cmos button on there ... now nothing seems to be working

test the PSU on another mobo. test the mobo with another PSU

Try one stick of ram in the first slot.

you sure the clear cmos button did not get stuck? happened once on my maximus... one corner was stuck. i just jiggled the button a bit and it worked.

nope no lights anywhere ... the clr cmos button is on default ... its been there the whole time ... came that way so it was enabled right out of the box ... i disabled it with a jumper and still no lights

i figured out the problem .... something happened and did something to my PSU ... i hooked the board up to another PSU and the lights came on ... sooooooo not sure how but it broke my PSU ... can it be fixed or do i need to RMA it?

[Logos4]

so you're back on track with the mobo at least :) strange with the psu though...

if you need to ask, then just rma it. a psu should be serviced by a trained and qualified professional.

I thought I had done the same with my P5K Deluxe and I disassembled all parts (processor, memories, vido, etc), put it back to the original pack and after 3 days in a sudden crazy moment I mounted everything back again and voilá! It started normally!

I was back to my original OC and so far so good.

i tested my PSU on another computer ... and i got lights ...
so i was like what the ...
i put the PSU back into my mobo and got lights ...

sooooooooooo i have no frikin idea why it wouldnt work earlier but now i got lights ... so im installing everything with it out on card board so just in case it some else goes wrong haha ...

but one other question ... i cant play games ....everytime i do it freezes ... any ideas? just need to wait on some updated drivers? or what ...

yes the thread maximus 2 woes thread is dealing with this ... and i posted there ... just wondering if yall had any new ideas ....

[WhiteFireDragon]

most likely the pin on the green wire of the PSU or the pin of the mobo that connects to the green wire did not contact. check that specific pin to see if there's anything loose with it.

as for the game freezing, it might be your memory, but it could be a lot of things. something is not stable. my first guess is the memory, then the video card
