Possible Dead MoBo for this Newbie... Please Help.

[Philou]

OK, one night i was lying in bed listening to some Queen, when the computer Just went quiet. The fans stopped and everything, all i could hear was the little humm of the water pump. so i went to investigate.. Something was majorly wrong. I thought my cooling system might have leaked and caused a short somewhere, but upon inspection, all areas of the case / Mobo / Pci's were Dry.

So i tried to start my com again by turning off the switch, then on again. This yielded a just noticable "Twitch" in the fans. So, me with my limited knowledge immediatly suspected the power supply. So i swapped it with another, only to find the same symptoms..

Do i need another MOBO?

I was scared the P4 Chip had fried, but i wasn't at a high level of OC, i was running at 2.6 from 2.4 (Intel P4 2.4C). and with watercooling it was running at a luke warm 45 on max load in a hot room.. so i doubt that was it..

Please Help.. :'(

if you replaced the power supply and still nada if assembly was correct dead cpu and or mother board

You gota be jokeing,you must have dreamed this,a computer does not "leak" but drunk people do.
Stop playing around next time.
By the way ? How did you make this post ?

There are now cpu cooling systems which use a water cooling system-they have a radiator and some have a swamp cooler style cooler-A water leak is possible.

I'll take your word for it then,in the meantime i'm still working on a completely enclosed freezer system.So the skys the limit.
a 1 gb cpu might fl(r)y at 1 terrabyte.

SO the CPU is a possibility? i thought the P4 would shut down (crash) if temps got too high?
