Hi guys.
A friend of mine brought his pc to me. I built it for him 11 months ago. It worked all that time without a fault. A few days ago he switches his pc on, power and harddrive leds come on, dvd-rw led blinks once too, led on the monitor turns green ...for 5 seconds, then monitor goes back to standby. Pc doesn't continue to boot. I do not hear harddrives to spin or anything. All fans inside keep on running. Led indicator near RAM slots, is on.
I have no clue what's up with the old horse.
I got another PSU, connected it only to motherboard. the same picture. No beeps for missing floppies, or bad RAM or bad Video. No signal on monitor except that the led turns green for a couple of seconds.
With the psu which is inside the case, I disconnected everything except RAM. Nothing new.
I swapped RAM slots, put it into new slots, try to do with one stick, then with another. Nothing new.
First of all, I took off the Video, expecting motherboard to beep, Nothing.
I suspect something terrible happened to motherboard, or CPU.
Maybe something else. I don't know.
It is P4, 2.4GH with HP, 2x256 crucial, Gigabyte GA-8IK1100, chipset Intel 875P, 2 HD - 1200JB and 800JB, DVD-RW LG 4040B. Antec case and PSU 350W true power. on board Audio. Video - Geforce 5600 128M MSI.
Any idea?
