    Unhappy HELP!!! I think something died here!

    Hi Fellas,

    I left my computer running Prime95 overnight and when I came back at home for lunch the screen was freezed (Prime was red when it freezes) and it doesn´t boot anymore. What do you guys think that can happened? I´m using a water-chiller so maybe some condensation was formed and caused it to freeze? I used dielectric grease on the Socket and MOBO/CPU, it looks well insulated but who knows? BIOS corrupted somehow?

    This is sad... I was so pleased with my rig....

    P.S NB Fan spins, red/green led ok.

    Sorry STEvil I´m not following...

    I was testing the FSB @ 235MHz ( 3.3V PSU rail @3.6V and Vdimm at 3.29V) I measured the Vdimm/Vdd voltages and they´re spot on: 2.78V and 1.53V both volt mods on.

    The weird thing is that the CPU is getting hot when Attempting to boot...

    It's working!

    I don't know what happened but just to be sure I will remove the WB and check for condensation just for piece of mind.

    Thanks all who helped!
