Motherboard fried?

[Kehl]

I came home from work and my PC was turned off. When I try to boot it up all the fans and hard drives spin up, but nothing else turns on. My monitor remains in sleep mode, all usb ports are off, and the network port light is also off. Can anyone offer any suggestions to something that might be wrong that isnt a bad motherboard?

I have tried reseting every cable, eliminated all but the essential items required to boot, and cleared the cmos. Nothing has worked yet.

first remove everything except the CPU, PC-speaker and Heatsink Fan
boot, it´ll beep, if it doesn't then it could be either your CPU, MOBO or PSU

do you have another PC in which you can test your CPU? perhaps another PSU to test with your MOBO?


was you system overclocked or overvolted?

I have a second PSU and get the same results. I do not have a spare CPU since its an old s939 based system and my other PC is intel based.

No it was not overclocked, everything was stock.

Chaintech NF4-Ultra, AMD 4200 X2 s939, Antech Earthwatt 430w PS

No POST eh? okey so now it´s either your CPU or your mobo
if your CPU wasn't overclocked and had a good cooling, chances are it's fine.

the motherboard has more devices that could get damaged or broken, so it's more probable that your mobo is dead.

Still to be 100% sure you had to test it with a known good cpu

Well I take that back, I did have an old processor. I found an A64 3200+ and had the same results, the motherboard bit the dust. Now I have to figure out what to get. :/
