Solve : Trying to fix multiple problems with my PC and I am fairly sure it is the mobo o? |
|
Answer» Hey, so for the past month I have been having this issue where all programs would stop responding and soon after the whole pc would crash, and I have tested everything and did all I could such as testing both ram sticks, doing a factory reset and getting a new harddrive as well. But I have narrowed it down to the CPU or motherboard. But out of the blue my COMPUTER wouldn't turn on and didn't make a distinct beep like it usually does when it BOOTS up, so I am pretty sure that is a motherboard issue because I hear the fans running ect. But I was wondering would the crashing and programs not responding be a motherboard issue? I am in the process of ordering a new one and was wondering if that would fix both problems I had or if I had to get a new CPU entirely. Here is my PC if you are interested btw http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227391 thanksHow did you rule out that it wasn't a Windows issue ? ? How old is the PC ?Not powering on isn't ALWAYS the motherboard - You'll also need to look into the power supply and ideally test a different one with the PC to see if that's the problem - The power supplies used in these "iBuyPower" PCs are pretty much the worst you can get and are in no way suitable for powering a high end video card for any length of time. Check if the MACHINE is under warranty - If so, use that.-But I was wondering would the crashing and programs not responding be a motherboard issue? There are lots of POSSIBLE causes for system and program lock-ups. 1. Too much program running simultaneously and the CPU can't cope up with it. 2. Overheating which affects and can damage computer components thus making them stop working. 3. Virus can slow down programs and eventually kill the software. It would have been better if you first tried to scan your software and clean your hardware before replacing components. The computer don't turn on could be caused by incompatibility of the newly installed hardware. Hope this helpsFailure of the PSU can be tested by using a good quality new PSU. BTW: A failed CD/DVD drive can cause the same symptoms. Quote from: Geek-9pm on May 21, 2014, 10:50:40 PM BTW: A failed CD/DVD drive can cause the same symptoms.Wait, WHAT? |
