its been fine for the last 4 years the only problems ive had before is windows corrupting itself on me thus having to re format which doesent bother me ,
but the other day i booted up and no video display came up so i rebooted and noticed it wasn't posting beeping or anything it just whiiirs away as it would normally sound
ive tried removing battery , clearing Cmos by moving the jumper ,left it overnight , unplugged everything,
also ive got it to bare essentials mobo,cpu ram , still dosent post,
can you try another psu as it could be that the 5 volts side is bad? look at the can shaped silver flat topped objects on the motherboard as they are capacitors, are any of them domed or leaking brown stuff?
thanks for reply DDP ive tried another 2 psu's and they do the same thing ive looked at the mobo and it looks brand new apart from the dust , no leakage at capacitors , strange problem , im thinking to just buy a new main board as its the only thing i havent tried
ddp is probably right and i haven't read the hole thread but...did you try to switch the DVI/VGA cable? although its rare sometime the pins get messed up and wont display an image:(
ok, i need serious help now ive waisted 40 quid on a brand new asrock socket a motherboard , the damn thing is doing the exact same thing no post no video , what the hell is the problem here
Since no one has spoken about it but are you sure your video card still works? Your computer could be posting you just cant see it?
Try another power supply even though fans work one connection might not work.
Does the Power LED on the motherboard turn on?
Might sound stupid :), but are you 100% sure the monitor works?
Now your list is smaller at least you know that:
Ram
CPU
MB
DVD/RW (Shouldnt cause it to not post)
HDD (Shouldnt cause pc to not post)
Need to be tested:
Graphics card
Power supply
Monitor
good luck
