A friend of mine just delivered me his machine since it died. He says that it happened whilst working on it, he got some BSOD windows error. He then did a hard reboot and now the machine wont even beep.

I tried pulling out every card incl. GPU and RAM and also all of the molex connectors but the machine still wont even beep.

Specs:
865PE Neo2-LS (http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=433)
512DDR
P4(dont know the clock)
SATA HDD
The machine is about 1.5years old.

ps. I dont believe it could be the heating since the fan is HUGE and louder than my hair dryer..
Any ideas?
 
If you don't get a beep, it's typically a CPU problem. Try re-seating the CPU in the socket, and the HSF on the CPU. Also try re-seating the vid card and ram. Try booting with just those 3. Of course, make sure you have all your power connected.

I'd say it's more often the motherboard or power supply. But CPU is not impossible.

I've already had 2 scenarios where CPU was the problem. And in both scenario ECS K7s5a wa the MOBO
