Not sure about the motherboard! If you guys told me how to tell I'll let you know!
I can't get my computer to POST! Basically I start it and then the CPU fan starts spinning, but after a few seconds it stops, then resets.
When my computer first started going bad, it was working, I just couldn't get windows to launch and the startup repair kept crashing. So I Ran memtest86 and it seemed mostly clean. I think their might of been a stick going bad, but after removing it, I still can't get it to work. And now it won't even post.
I hooked up the motherboard speaker and it isn't beeping. Not even with the RAM taken out of it. So I think that means its the PSU, the CPU, or the Motherboard is bad, right? Pretty sure that's what you need for motherboard beeps.
I switched out the PSU with another one and still had the same problem. So I think I narrowed it down to CPU, Motherboard. I Switched out the CMOS Battery, to no avail. I'm guessing that means CPU or motherboard? :/
Also took out my videocard and tried booting with the on-board HDMI, still nothing came up.
Thanks! Really appreciate the help! I'm not too good at this hardware stuff:/
EDIT: I was asleep when my computer crashed for the first time, and my GF ran startup repair and left it on all night. Before my computer started going really bad, I looked at the temperature in BIOS. Motherboard was at 53C and CPU was at 80C. Obviously I need to get some better cooling, but do you guys think that's what caused all this?
