System will not power up
Hardware:
Enermax EG651P-VE(FMA) 550W Power Supply
Epox 8RDA3+ rev 3.1 Motherboard
AMD Athlon Mobile 2600+ @ 2.53GHz (11.5x220)
1GB Geil Ultra Series Dual-Channel PC3500 DDRAM
ATI Radeon 9800XT
SoundBlaster Audigy 2
LiteOn LTD-166 DVD-ROM
NEC ND-2500A DVD-RW
Western Digital WD2500JB
Western Digital WD2500JB
Thermalright SP97 Heatsink with 92MM Vantec Tornado fan
Vantec Nexus Fan Speed Controller
Four 92MM intake fans, one 92MM exhaust fan
System will not power up. Some time while I was away, the system experienced some problem and turned itself off (heat is my assumption as to what caused the crash/shutdown). Subsequent attempts to turn the system back on have been fruitless. When power button is pressed, the diagnostic LED on the motherboard briefly flashes the FF indicator before powering off almost instantly. A couple of the fans twitch, but those are the only other signs of life.
I unplugged the fans, hard drives, & optical drives, no help.
I pulled out the video and sound card, no help.
I pulled out the RAM, no help.
I tested a different power supply with only the mobo, CPU, RAM, vid card, & audio card plugged in, no help.
Reset the CMOS, no help.
I'm starting to think that the board went and blew a cap on me or something, though I cannot see anything along those lines with mere visual inspection.
Important to note, the CPU was running mightily overclocked at high voltage (1.9v) and the room in which the system lived was ridiculously hot (we've been having a heat wave down here in SoCal and I'm almost never in the room where that system lived, so I simply didn't care if the temperature rose above 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
Anyway, I haven't taken out the board or the CPU yet. Taking the heatsink off is a royal pain in the ass -- as is getting the board out, really. Very attractive, yet cramped, Lian Li case....
So, any thoughts, ideas, inspirations? Am hoping to avoid a board RMA but seems like that's where I'm inevitably headed unless someone can tell me otherwise.

I wish you had another m/b to test the CPU, but until you do so, don't try any other cpu on your motherboard..
Try removing the battery ( if it can be removed) from your mobo for at least a minute( unplagged from your PSU). And try only your m/b with the CPU (do not plug anything else not even ram, not even vga). This way you 'll rule out a bad ram or vga and you'll focus on mobo-cpu..
Hi to everyone here!
