  1. Sounds like a PSU problem. Few things to do right away, make sure the PSU fan is still spinning and give it a clean, with it off and unplugged, with air pretty thoroughly (might as well do the system too). Also, to rule out some thing small like a cord or whatever, replace the PSU cord with a known working one and plug it directly into a wall outlet if it's not. There is always a chance you have a bad power bar/surge protector/ups. Just comes down to a process of elimination. Take it from someone who bought a new PSU when they didn't have to, exhaust the stupid stuff. That being said, if you have access to a known working PSU, do try that first. A bad PSU can be damaging depending on how it faulted.
  2. Clearing the CMOS would reset the BIOS to factory defaults but after re-reading what you said, it probably wouldn't help since that is technically what you did anyways but it doesn't hurt to try. Easiest way is to pull out the silver battery on the board (MAKE SURE YOUR BOARD IS COMPLETELY OFF, PSU NOT PLUGGED IN, NO LIGHTS ON). Wait a few seconds or a minute, re-seat the battery, turn on.
  3. Have you tried just clearing the CMOS by jumping the pins or pulling the CMOS battery?
  4. Are the LED's on your mobo still lighting up when the 24pin connector is installed and PSU switched on? (not booting, just the passive LED's that show standby power) The best way is to literally pull everything out of the case and off the board. No RAM, CPU, nothing. Attach the 24pin connector to the board, turn on the PSU for standby power. If the LED's light up, then your board is probably fine. If they don't, the board is probably dead.
  5. Is your laptop set to high performance mode in your power/battery settings? Are you playing the games in full-screen? Are there any background programs running while you try to game?
  6. Hey people, just saying what's up, and been aware of LTT for awhile but just spent the last week watching so much of it. It literally saved me when I woke up X-Mas eve to a dead mobo on my pretty beefy rig. Now to lurk
