Answer» My name is Kevin, and i just bought a new computer case. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811144156&nm_mc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel&cm_mmc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel-_-Content-_-text-_- Now my computer will not boot. I know there is power going into it. The light is on, and when I press the power BUTTON everything spins up. ie the fans (including the CPU fan), the hard drive, the cd-rom, etc.
I was thinking this may be a grounding issue, so I turned it off, and unpluged all non essential PIECES like the fans. And still nothing.
What happens is everything seems to work, but there is no start up, not even the bios boot screen, no beep, no anything. I have checked and rechecked the screws and all power connections. I have even gone as far as taking it all apart and putting it back together again.
I would appreciate any advice or feedback because I am at a loss here.Stand offs in?The motherboard is screwed into the sliding stand. I used the provied spacing screws for the tray. Then screwed the motherboard into those.
Your shure everything is plugged in right?yeah, I've plugged and unplugged everything a bunch of times. Ive also tried starting it up with only the motherboard plugged in. Plus the LED light on the motherboard turns on. And i think that that is at the end of the circuiti just put the whole *censored* thing back into the old case, and now it wont work there either. *censored*?Well are you shure the pos and neg where you put the power switch, reset button ect are put on the right way?yes they were labled for pos and neg and so were the grounds. when i press the button everything turns on, it just doesn't boot up. like everything runs, but it wont even get to the screen where i can choose to enter the bios settings.
i have another power supply, for the computer I'm USING now, i think I'm going to try and put that one in tomorrow. Is it onboard video or a card?
Do you have a different monitor you can try, just to rule that out as the culprit?the video card is not internal, its an nvidea and only a few months old, it does require a power line to it, however the fan spins up when i turn it on. i have 2 monitors connected to it, i can try another one i have, ill do that before i change out the power supply.
the thing is though, that the internal little speaker doesn't beep when i turn it on either.
the computer worked fine a few days AGO, before i changed the case. and now I'm back in the old case and it still doesn't work.
could i have damaged something in the switch over?I would do a out of case test >use 1 stick of ram> cpu& heatsink fan connected> video connected to monitor>keyboard.You will have to short the power pins [2] on the board to power up, see if it displays bios on monitor.

most likely yesunless you have pluged in something wrong it is a hardware issue...most likely cpu but just run checks to see if it works....it might be DOA or you might have shocked somethingI think I may have damaged the motherboard when I was changing it over.
I tried a different power supply, I tried it outside of the case, and I tried it with a different monitor, and still nothing. I then tried my power supply on a different build and it worked fine.
this has defiantly been a lesson to me for when I deal with parts. I'm going to invest in a grounding wrist band and be much more carefully in the future.
you have all been a help to me for troubleshooting, thanks.
