I've been using my system for 10 months or so for now.
It had worked well until yesterday, when it suddenly refused to boot.
When I press the power button, the following stuffs happen :
- All fans go up (PSU, case, GPU, CPU).
- Any USB stuff gets powered up.
- The power LED on the case does not light up.
- No beeps can be heard.
- Screen is blank (No Signal message, then monitor goes into sleep mode).
- ODD seems to be powered : it opens when I press the button on the ODD.
- HDD seems to be powered(basic rotation sound) but the system is not reading from it.
- System does not respond to any keyboard input.
- System does not respond to reset button or simple power switch press.
- Requires long press on power switch to turn off.
I have tried the following :
- Pull out power cable, press power switch to remove residual electricity, plug in, power on.
- Remove all USB stuffs and try again.
- Remove graphic card & RAM and try again.
And combinations of above.
There was no change in the problem.
Is there anything that I can do to pinpoint the problem?
I am suspecting CPU or MOBO, but I would like some confirmation before ripping the system apart and sending the parts for A/S.
My mainboard is MSI B75M-P45.
My CPU is i5-3570.
