Help Required: Stuck at Bootsplash screen!

edited September 2016 in Tools & Technology
Howdy folks.

I have an x58a-ud 7 motherboard. I recently changed my cpu case ( Corsair spec alpha) and upgraded to water cooling (Corsair h60) from air. Now, after i turn the PC on, the system doesn't go beyond the bootsplash screen. I have a PS/2 keyboard and nothing works i.e. cant go into the boot menu. I have posted a pic of the screen for reference.

I have reset the CMOS battery several times but in vain. The hex error code on the mobo shows 50. I am just clueless on what to do exactly. Any leads in the right direction would be appreciated greatly.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

    Have you tried to remove all components inside CPU and put them back tightly (like hard disk cable, etc ) ? When i had PC, even a slight disturbance used to bring such issues ..
  • Well, disassembling the whole thing and putting it back together would eat up a lot of my time. I have checked the ram(s), connections etc. though. The connections seem tight. Just cant wrap my head around the issue :(

    No need to disassemble everything but hard disk cable if its loose, OS may not load..so try to put back cables of important items which are involved in the process of booting..For me , it was always the hard disk cable issue..its RAM dirty, i guess we should hear beeping sound for that
  • I have checked the sata connections. As mentioned above, all connections seem snug and tight. :neutral:
  • The hex error code is 50 btw!
  • I once faced this issue.

    Later while investigating the matter for nearly one hour I was with the conclusion that it was the RAM slot's connection with the motherboard.

    Took it to service centre and got replaced as it was under warranty.
  • Thanks for your input(s) guys. The thing is, this setup was working perfectly before I changed into a new cabinet and a cooling system. The system is booting up, so I don't think the problem is with the ram or hdd :(

    @dragonborn is the heat sink fan running?
  • Yes. all the fans are running fine. The system is not shutting down by itself!
  • Hmmm seems like your system is not getting past POST check
    Use function keys or use memtest functionality if ur motherboard has that
