hmmm but the exact same system worked before, and now it doesnt, right?
so then it sounds like something is def damaged... and you tried all other boards besides the board and switched them for known to work parts right?
so then the board must be damaged.. but how? dont ask me... i have no clue... i can only suspect that since you said there wasnt much pressure from the heatsink it must have shorted the board somehow... or maybe you kicked off one or a few smd parts from the pcb somehow?
Will do some more testing and let you know saaya:up:Quote:

Yes I tried with another PSU its in my first post "After trying to clear cmos I have tried starting with my old cpu, another psu, another graphic card, new memory and with or without a HDD connected." ;)Quote:

As I said the heatsink kinda wiggled like people have posted before about the TRUE so I really doubt it was bolted on too tight but you never know... would be nice to know if the cooler shorted it out somehow cause then i dont know if i dare put it in again on next mobo :rolleyes:
Oh and for the record starting without that molex like Blindfitter said didnt help me sadly still same never ending short beeps right after fans spin up.
one of our bios engineers uses the TRUE on one of his boards without any issues, and he only uses two bolts to hold it down, not all four... and it sits on the board really tight... so maybe mounting it with all 4 bolts and clamping them tight was really too much and cracked the pcb... :/
and yeah, i know that feeling when you killed or damaged some hardware but dont know how it happened, its really annoying and hard to move on :D
Hey, i'm having the same problem, lots of short beeps and fans going/nothing on screen etc. but when i went to change the ram around and i turned it back on it wouldnt turn on at all? just the blue led turned on and nothing else??? does this mean my Mars is truely dead??
Thx.
offtopic - hey when i pushed the power button on MY pc casing all the fans starts spining and then it stops , then after 1 sec it started the fans again and booting :D Why is that ?
ontopic :P - beep came to me coz of the ram probs :D
it is normal, mine does sameQuote:
