Suddenly powerloss results in no booting anymore
For a strange reason the power suddenly drops and all my computers are off.
So called an technician and the main fuse was blown. He repaired it and everything works fine, BUT my main computer doesn't boot anymore.
The screens hangs on this:
So i removed some memory banks and tried again, no luck.
Then i disconnected all the harddrives and dvd drives, still no luck.
Suddenly i see that my CPU fan is not turning and it even by hand it is hard to turn, so probably it's been broken for a while. But my CPU has 2 fans. On on the top and one on the side.
So i replaced the fan by a new one, but offcourse this doesn't solve the problem either.
Then i replaced the power supply and connected the nessecary devices, still no luck.
Then i removed one of my 2 videocards, but again no luck, i changed one for the other videocard and even that doesn't solve the problem.
I can enter the BIOS and change settings, so i set the default profile, but that doesn't help either.
Anyone an idea what could cause this problem?
Besides this, i can't even access my data on my striped raid setup by booting from CD, because it hangs on this screen. So if you could tell me how to recover the data from these drivers, that would also be helpfull.

Additional note: The 9 leds wich indicate the load of the processor on the mainbaord are all burning. So indicating the processor load is 100%, wich shouldn't i think while hanging on this screen.

Then it should at least say no operating system found.
But when i enable my RAID setup again in the bios and connect my 2 drivers with power, it is detected by the RAID BIOS, but still hanging on the same screen.

With striped raid, do you by any chance mean RAID 0, and is that where your OS was installed on?
If it was RAID 0, you have lost your OS and data. You'll have to reinstall the system or restore it from backups. Power failures are almost 100% certain to kill a RAID 0 array, and as RAID 0 has no redundancy that means you have lost everything. I would never put the OS or any data onto RAID 0.

My raid array is still good and nothing wrong with it, but just to proof my point, even with a new sata disk connected alone and trying to boot from a windows 7 CD, still hangs on the same screen.
This is not a disk issue.

I stopped frustrated last night with troubleshooting.
This morning i moved my computer to my test area and quess what, it boots again......
So placed the original hardware back and booted again and it still works.
Probably some component was to hot and after a night off it could boot again.
Only thing i could think off is the CPU.
Anyway problem solved. Thanks for the input.

then i suggest you install speedfan, to minitor the temps, and clean out all fans and vents

Try reseatting the hard drive cables and the CD/DVD cables. You may have a bad motherboard.
