The two days ago I replaced my tec's (cpu/gpu) with better quality ones and was running benches for a few hours to check my temps and what not. Last night I went to turn on my rig and it was posting "8.7." which in the manual said something to the effect of "CPU core voltage".

Does this sound like my mobo may be acting up or my CPU? Could this possibly be from some condensation forming? I have been using tec's for nearly 6 months with absolutely no problems and have completely insulated my board, but am open to the fact that I may have missed something when re-sealing my block to my mobo. Thanks

If you haven't already, give old faithful a try (which is usually a given here @ XS, I know):

• Remove power from the system.
• Hit the power button to discharge the capacitors.
• Move the CCMOS jumper (or switch) to the clear position.
• Wait ~30 seconds.
• Place the jumper (or switch) back in the normal position.
• Restore power and boot up immediately into BIOS.
• Select "Load Optimized Defaults" and then set the recommended voltage for your RAM.
• Save & exit.
• On reboot, go directly into BIOS and set any other settings you wish, such as timings for your RAM, boot order, etc.

If that doesn't work, try re-seating the CPU and make sure the socket is dry while you do it.

I tried that last night, and even tried leaving it unplugged with no battery overnight and still no go this morning. As soon as I hit the power button it goes straight to "8.7.", no bios no nothing! I was hoping to not have to tear it apart again as it took me a solid 5 hours to re-do my setup the other day! Considering I never even removed the cpu from the socket while doing so I thought it wouldn't need to be reseated, but will give that a go in the next few days. Thanks for the advice!
