My PC is dead

[Dav0s]

well comp just died. everything shut off and it wont turn on. tried clearing CMOS, unplugging power cable and removing cpu and booting. nothing happends when i press power button.

my mobo light comes on so does this mean that my mobo is still working? i think i will have to buy a new cpu and mobo cos the thermal tape on the cpu was looking very thin when i took it out but i never got to see the temps before it turned off.

i am thinking it is mobo because i dont even get a power light when i turn on, no beeps or anything.

because mobo light comes on does this mean psu is ok??

please help me guys, i need to isolate the problem.

mod in need

try reseating your video card. if its not posting, it may be that too. can u test it in another system?

What exactly happens when you hit the power switch?

It could be a number of things... vid card, cpu, mobo, or your ram.

onboard vid

no activity lights at all... is it mobo??

Quite possibly, especially if the onboard gpu dies, then ur up shit creek w/o a paddle. Luckily mobo's are cheap, get a new one and see if it fixes the problem

You the herbert dude? Go rob PC World or something

No no, you want AMD or Intel, cos AMD will be a hell of a lot cheaper for a nice buget system...

Also - SATA or not SATA?

If you get a nForce 2 System, if you can find it, the MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR nForce2 400 Ultra board is the cats pajamas.

ok the mobo light goes on but it doesnt start or post:

>check CMOS jumpers

>check Cmos Batt

>Check power switch works

>check power suply connections to mobo

>remove some deives that require power but are not neccessary to get to win (eg xtra ram optical drives pci cards) and tri 2 boot if it boots ut ps is too weedy

> check power supply - use another one to see if it works

> did u flash ur bios wrongly as this will cause these effects!
