Hello everyone!
I am kinda new here (been reading TH for long time, but never registered) and i got some problems with my old computer. I hope you guys can help me diagnose the problem.
As i stated, my old PC suddenly restarted when i was watching YouTube videos, and i couldn't get it working ever since. When i press the power button, everything spins up (fans, hdd, dvd drive, graphics card), but PC doesn't play the POST beep sound (that beep you hear when PC is booting up), and there is no signal coming to the monitor (monitor led just lights up in orange color). I as thinking my PSU died as it did few times, so i gave the graphics card to my friend last week as i don't need it anymore (i am buying new pc). But my friend claims that card is dead, he took it to service and they said the same thing. I don't know how it died as it worked perfectly on my PC (until that restart), i bought the card few months ago brand new (sapphire hd3450 512mb AGP) and i used it only for watching movies, YouTube videos and playing chess.com.
Could it be that the card died cause of PSU? Or is my motherboard dead too? Since i tried booting pc without card and result was the same (no sound), i don't have spare card or IGP. When i remove ram, and start up pc it beeps because there is no ram. Does that mean mobo is ok?
I am just curious to know what the problem is, i dont need that pc anymore for daily use, but i wanted to use it as NAS server since i got couple of old hdds laying around.
PC SPECS:
Mobo: asus P4S800D-X
CPU: INTEL Celeron D 325 @2,6ghz
RAM: 2GB DDR
VGA: Sapphire HD3450 512Mb AGP
PSU: MS KY-400ATX P4 (i think)
