Hmm...Really sounds like a memory issue but you said you've already ruled that out. Mobo seems most likely now.

ill try the memory again. It just might be, but unless I have 3 bad sticks...

One bad stick will bring the computer down. Try putting in only one at a time and see if you can isolate it.

This is obvious and you've probably tried it already, but for the record . . . have you reseated all socketed chips and cable connections?
Let me try that RAM thing again now |
nop still nothing
|
dumb question..... is the monitor connected, functional and powered up?
things I could think of: - speaker(s) may not be connected if you do not hear any beeps... - bad key board? - bad bios - battery dead and/or corrupted. others already mentioned |
hmm monitor is connected.
Speak is connected, keyboard works fin on my other PC I should still see a POST screen, but I dont |
other possibilities
- dead video controller (I think you checked for that already) - dead motherboard. (some power components?) some things might be powering up, but not everything on the motherboard. Since you've tested a different PS, its probably the motherboard. - ** check for shorts between motherboard and the case body. a loose screw, nut or something metallic between the board and the case. - make sure the reset or power key is not stuck. |
Power switch connectors? It's a long shot, but have you removed the motherboard from the case, and tried operating the system (minimal - processor, ram, video, keyboard) while the board is outside of the case? Go so far as to remove the power connectors and use a screwdriver to close the "power switch" connection.

At this point, it's nearly certain that it's either a total motherboard failure, or a processor failure (which can also happen). I'd scrap it.
|
Yup, I did. I went to the computer shop, and the shop keep tested the motherboard with another CPU. Didn't work, so I bought a new board.
|
grr
I got the wrong RAM at home. I have spare DDR dual channel, but this mobo needs DDR2 |
