Solve : Damaged cpu?? |
|
Answer» I was wondering if some one could give me a couple basic steps to pinpoint whether or my cpu is working. My guess would be power supply or the board. Check all connections FIRST Well like I said the power supply does turn the fans on..also the drives.. Quote from: computeruler on March 10, 2009, 05:41:19 PM Sounds like the motherboard to me This is a brand new out of the box mobo. I guess I can go buy one try to a new power supply.But what is the theory behind the power supply? I'm guessing that maybe you guys are suggesting that maybe its not powerful enough? It can still be bad if it just powers the fans and stuff. Just because its putting out power doesnt mean its good. Can you try to get a free power supply to test instead of buying one? And wouldnt it be easier just to return the other power supply instead of buying a new one if you really have to?Did you build this ? ?I would guess thats a yes (at least someone did) due to the motherboard Quote from: computeruler on March 10, 2009, 07:15:38 PM It can still be bad if it just powers the fans and stuff.

And wouldnt it be easier just to return the other power supply instead of buying a new one if you really have to? I've had to replace several power supply's in the past..Most of the time when they go out they pop and smells like electrical fire or something. That wasn't the case here. No I cant get a free one. I guess I could try to return the one I have back to micocenter. Its been about a year though.

Whats the NEXT step?What happened before the problem occured Quote from: computeruler on March 10, 2009, 07:24:36 PM What happened before the problem occured This all started 5 days or so after I had to replace my old power supply with the existing one I have now. I replaced the power supply with success and everything worked fine. Then about a week later I cant get bios or ANYTHING to show on the moniter.Just a black screen.When I disconnect the vga cord it will give me the "no signal" message.I would say its the power supplyThx, I think I'll try to buy a newer one then. If its not the PS when what would you suggest? Motherboard Quote from: computeruler on March 10, 2009, 07:17:50 PM I would guess thats a yes (at least someone did) due to the motherboard Classic. |
