So a couple weeks ago my PS exploded, and seemed to have taken my MoBo with it, because after buying a new case & PS I still got nothing...
The MoBo light turned on, but when pressing the power button nothing happened: no fans, no noise, no beep codes, nothing. The general consensus was that my MoBo was fried also. So, I returned the MoBo as it was fairly new, and tonight I recieved the replacement.
However, when I put this MoBo in and hooked everything up, the same thing happened: NOTHING.
Again the MoBo light is the only signal I recieve and nothing more. I checked and rechecked connections, cleared the CMOS, tried starting without the Hard Drive, DVD-ROM, Video Card or RAM connected, even hooked up the power switch from my old case's front panel. Nothing had any effect.
Also, while I was waiting for my new MoBo to arrive I put my hard drive in my friend's computer to test it, and the hard drive is working fine. But I couldn't test anything else out as the components aren't compatable with his MoBo.
The components are as follows:
Antec Mid-Tower with SmartPower 350W PS
Abit GD8 Pro MoBo
Intel P4 560J 3.6Mhz 1Mb 800Mhz with Prescott Core Socket 775
Two Dual Channel DDR2 PC2-4200 533Mhz 1Mb sticks of RAM w/ heat sinks
GeForce 7300 GT 512Mb
Some old crappy 80Gb hard drive
I'm out of ideas. I'm not even getting it to boot enough to the point of getting a beep code to pursue. I wouldn't guess that it's the PS as it's new and at least gets the MoBo light going. The MoBo is also new, and the rest of the parts are relatively new too.
If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions that'd be great. I really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
