I'm having a serious problem with my computer; I think I've narrowed it down to the motherboard, but I'd like a second opinion before I spend the money. I have no idea what's wrong.
Before I moved into my new apartment, my desktop was working fine; now, it just won't work. It will turn on, the fans will spin up, lights come on... but nothing appears on the screen. No POST, nothing. I've tried:
- A different monitor (both are VGA)
- A different video-card (both are DVI, PCIe)
- Three different, known-good VGA->DVI adapters
- The onboard video port (VGA)
- Reseating the memory, and trying only one stick
- Different, known-good wall-outlets
- Unplugging the HDD and CD-drive from both the motherboard and PSU
- Replacing the PSU
- Replacing the motherboard
- Taking the motherboard out and running it on a piece of cardboard
Has anyone had this happen before? Any advice!?
Here are my specs:
- A13G+ V3.0 motherboard
- 2 2-gig 800mhz DDR2
- 600-watt PSU
- two older Geforce video cards
Well I just replaced the motherboard, still nothing. – BlueRaja - Danny Pflughoeft – 2010-03-16T01:46:09.017
