Hello,
I have a pc that when I turn it on the fans and power light turn for a second and stop and the then nothing.
I've tried three different psu s and still the same thing.
The PC is a HP Pavillion a330n.
I've checked the memory in a different pc and it's fine so is the hard drive.
I could use all the help I can get.
Thank you
 
your pc won´t w00t? have u installed some new hardware recently?
 
I disconnected the cd-roms, floppy, and hard drive to see if it would boot and still got nothing.
I checked to make sure everything was plugged in correctly also.
Still nothing.
 
Sounds like the only possibilities left would be your video card.. or, as mentioned above your mobo....because nothing would happen of your cpu was toast, so yeah.. I'd try a different video card if you can, and if that's not it, well...
 
The video card is integrated into the mobo.
Since it won't boot up I can't get to the bios to disable it.
 
Well then.. sounds like the board is probably dead... and even if you could disable your on board video, that wouldn't do a whole lot of good anyhow... soooo, I'm guessing it's a dead mobo.
 
If it's a bad mobo then I'm screwed.
I'm out of work and can't afford another.
:(
Thank you all for the help.
