Over the last week, I have been trying to determine the problem with my desktop. Here is my setup:
Intel DX58SO LGA 1366 motherboard
Intel core I7 920
3x Corsair CM3 1333 1gb (9-9-9-24)
EVGA GTX 285
Zumax x4 750W
Hitatchi 500Gb HDD
Problem;
When I turn on the PC, from what I can tell, everything powers on, all of the fans/heat sinks, the HDD, GPU, DVD drive and all of the lights on the mb look normal. However, I have no output what so ever, none of the USB ports work and there is no output from the GPU either. My monitor knows when I disconnect the DVI cable. I tried various solutions, I took all of the ram out (dc'ed the HDD/DVD drive/wifi card, and tried this with and without the GPU) and then turned the PC back on and the mb gave me 3 long beeps, a short delay then 1 long beep, which I assume it telling me there is no ram. So I added one stick and turn it back on, at that point there were no more beeps , but the problem still existed. I tried resetting the BIOS as well by removing the battery for about an hour, with the PSU unplugged (mb standby light was also off). I also tried using the jumper as well. All that to no avail as well. Lastly I unplugged everything from the PSU and then plugged everything back in and tried reseating the ram once more however nothing seemed to change the problem.
I feel like it must be the mb that is fried, but I have had people tell me the PSU could also be faulty and create an issue such as this.
What do you think?
Thanks!
