Computer case swap and after computer won't POST

[RacingWithBrad]

Hello LTT community,

 

Note: (I'm sorry admins if I posted this in the wrong category/area, please move it to where it should be if need be.)

 

Right so basically I've moved all the my/the same hardware from a Phanteks Enthoo Luxe black to a Thermaltake Core P5. In the process of connecting it back up for a test of life before cable-management I get 5 beeps from the Motherboard's alarm-speaker. Medium duration beeps. Now I'm lead to believ this is a CPU not mounted error or GPU not mounted error. Problem is I can't check the GPU because I have no on-board graphics module available on the ASRock 990FX Extreme6 mobo. I'm using a really old Gainward GTX580 reference-design cooler card. Now before I moved the case I would get ocassional screen black outs where my games would either crash or a black screen would appear and go after 5 seconds completely randomly under I guess GPU load; gaming/rendering (photoshop).

 

1.) I've already tried removing and re-seatting the RAM but nothing. EVen a single stick is a big no no.  

2.) I've checked the fans all get power; PSU, CPU cooler and finally the GPU fan.

3.) I've taken the GPU out and ran the system to see about the alarm noises and beeps and it's still 5 medium duration beeps but I feel the beeps start to happen quicker with the GPU removed. I'm assuming this because the motherboard checklist before boot can't find a graphic-output device and fails quicker rather than when it's installed and mounted and powered by the PSU. Because then it has to do checklists on it's condition before boot.

 

 If anybody can help shine some light on this for me would excellent! Oh and due to thermaltake's shitty stand-off's I'm missing the bottom lower-left stand off screw holding it in although the stand off is present behind the board. Same with the middle stand-off for an ATX-size board. However I can see nothing is shorting on the pins against the case as I have a good top and side view.

 

My SPECS are:

+AMD 9590 4.7Ghz

ASRock 990FX Extreme6

Gainward GTX580 1.5GB SG card

Samsung 850 EVO Pro SSD 256GB

Corsair CX750 (shitty corsair psu)

Kingston HyperX Fury low-profile 1866Mhz 2x 4GB = 8GB ram dual channel config

 

Any help would be really REALLY helpful lol. 

 

Regards,

Brad

Have you tried resetting the CMOS? Take the CMOS battery out and wait a while, then put it back in and try to boot.

No I'll try that now.

Still no joy  Looking at the CPU socket it look's like a bit of excess thermal paste CryoPaste by Cryorig is surrounding the chip but doesn't look like it's got into the pins.
