My Cube recently just didnt want to boot up.
When I touch the power button, its light goes on, the red one on the motherboard as well, the HDD starts spinning, but I dont get a chime and the power buttons light stays at the brightest level (normally it goes only so bright when you touch it and dimms after touching it). 5-10 seconds after powering it on, the power light blinks 5 times in rapid succession and another 10 seconds after that the Cube shuts itself down.
I disassembled the motherboard, graphics gard, RAM, VRM, CPU and IDE cable from each other and cleaned the connectors, but that did not work. Since the last time I booted the Cube up successfully (one day ago) I havent changed a component in it. At least nothing exploded or smells bad like what happend with my VRM.
Does somebody know this phenomenon and knows what I can do next?
