Really odd.

Yes I would say so - Capacitors on MOBO's are prone to giving up the ghost (especially on budget MOBO's)

Hello all.

 

Thought I'd give you an update on the posts prior to this. Long story short, I had two non-functioning pc's. I have now combined the two to make one very functioning pc.

 

I'm not here for a pat on the back, I'm here to give credit where it's due. I would never have been able to manage it without your guidance. You should wear capes.

 

And the best bit? The pc in question belongs to my potential mother-in-law! She now thinks I'm a genius. And worthy!

 

Thank you. Very much.

American Express will do very nicely Monkey :D

 

Just kidding mate.

 

Good to see your sorted. :)

[Dalo Harkin]

Can you tell us what solved the problem.

As for the capes - lol

and as for American Express - no one accepts that anymore lol

I was paraphrasing Dave and that can be Maynards Snappy Word for Today. :D

I am sure that he will be copying and pasting it rather than trying to remember to spell it :D.

It was purely down to process of elimination, dalo. Once I'd established that both psu's were firing on all cylinders etc, it just had to be the mobo. Then it was just a case of combining the working parts from both machines.

 

Two weeks ago I was clueless with regards to a pc's innards. Now thanks to you, I've stripped two down. I'm over the moon.

 

I can't offer you American Express unfortunately. I can, however, offer you a smiley face.:)

 

Cheers.

Without wishing to insult you Monkey allow me to say that if you wish to further your knowledge in computers then keep coming here to ask and learn.

:)

[Dalo Harkin]

The smiley face is more than enough :)

as Wolfey has said anytime you need help with anything PC related you know where to come :D
