DFI DK P45-T2RS, GTX 280, Boots and No Pix

[Technoholic]

Hi,

I've bought GTX280. And I was at University when my computer was fine. I've drove my car for two hours to get home. My computer case was in the back seat on passenger side with the front passenger seat inclined to hold down the computer.

Got home. Set up everything. And I boot it up, everything was running, but nothing on the monitor, at all. I've tried everything, even I switched back to the old video card I had that was working, now it doesn't even show up at all. I've tried reseating, and no luck. Same with the CMOS, battery and the rear of the computer onboard (which is the most stupidest thing invented, ever, PITA to take out the jumper).

And still to no avail.

The debug LED shows C1, I think that should be fine? At one point it did show i7A. Or it could be upside down "A" with Li, like ULi? I'm not even sure. The debug code changes to 25, sometimes. Or maybe it was S2.

I've removed EVERYTHING, and leave in the RAM, CPU, Vid Card with power to it, and of course the power to the mobo. And still no luck. I also tried different stick of RAM, and still no avail.

Help! This is not how I wanted to start off the weekend. :(

Try removing everything from the motherboard. Cpu, ram, power supply etc..Pull the bios battery out. Let everything sit for an hour or two. Watch tv drink a beer. Put everything back and try again. You may have jarred something loose or picked up some static. Try components out on another motherboard if this doesn't work.

I'm RMAing the board. I've tried everything I could.

The boot order of a post is PSU/MOBO/CPU - RAM - GPU. I think. If there is something wrong with the first group, you won't get an error code or even a beep. Hence, it's one of the first three. It's probably not your CPU as you were just driving a car and your PSU is also not so likely to fail. See what a new motherboard does to you, even if I'd try another PSU first if I were you.

I have BZ700 originally installed. I tried brand new Corsair 520HX with old 6600LE (it was working before I installed GTX280) and I get nothing on the screen, and constant rebooting.
