Hi all, |

A few weeks ago there was a discussion about audio interference when |
| 4 |
running 3d applications. |

|
| 6 |
Well mine kept getting worse (it didn't to it at all a month ago) until |
| 7 |
I got fed up. I opened the side and (gently!) moved some of the power |
| 8 |
cables away from the data cables to see if that was a cause of interference. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Well I did manage to reduce the noise by moving cables around but a |
| 11 |
couple of minutes later the machine bombed out with a big oops that I |
| 12 |
can't produce now. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I didn't think it was a big problem, I thought I had just pulled an hdd |
| 15 |
cable a bit too hard or something. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Now however, the machine won't post or even power up. It is an Asus |
| 18 |
Crosshair SKT AM2 nForce 590 SLI DDR2 which has a debug display on the |
| 19 |
back panel. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
As soon as you turn on the power to the motherboard, it displays "CPU |
| 22 |
INIT" which is the very first stage. Now trying to turn on the machine |
| 23 |
yields absolutely nothing, it just doesn't do a thing. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I have removed all additional devices, just leaving 1 hdd. I've also |
| 26 |
reseated the CPU, RAM and all cables. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I can't see how I could have properly killed some hardware just by |
| 29 |
moving a cable an inch to one side. |

If anyone has any ideas I'd be so grateful, I really don't want to have |
| 32 |
to return parts, I should be working on stuff right now :( |

Thanks |
