Solowka Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) Hi, what it is i had to reinstall windows 7 on my system and decided to leaver the pc on overnight while it was updating, now the PC doesnot boot, all the lights come on, thr psu fan comes on, the gfx card fan comes on and the heatsink fan comes on but no beeps and no display on the monitor. I have checked the RAM by only having one stick in at a time, changed the gfx card with no effect, i think i can hear the HDD coming on but cant be sure, i`ve checked the CPU and cant see any burnt pins, if anyone can help i`d appreciate it. Id put my specs down but cant recall all of them all i know is.... AMD Athlon Duel core processor 3.8mgz Nvidia Geforce GT 240 4 gig ram Edited May 5, 2012 by Solowka Quote
Plastic Nev Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 Hi and welcome to Extreme Tech Support - Free PC Help. If you can tell us the make and model number we can usually find the rest unless it is a home or specialist build. From the symptoms you describe it sounds like a hardware failure of some sort, although fans and lights come on it can still be the power supply as the important voltages are low for the CPU and other mainly electronic stuff. That part of the PSU can fail still leaving the higher voltages OK. If possible to do so, first thing to check is trying another and known to be working PSU. Nev.

Solowka Posted May 16, 2012 Author Posted May 16, 2012 well, i did buy a new psu first but that didnt work, next on the list was mobo, and thought if im updating that may aswell get a new cpu, the mobo only took DDR3 and me old one was DDR2, can you see my logic? games play a lot better now :-D Quote
KenB Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 I can see the logic :) Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !! MiniToolBoxNetwork TestWireless Test
