Hello, everyone.
I've got a computer that just simply failed a few days ago, and I'm not quite sure where to go from here.
The basics: Gigabyte MB GA-990FXA-UD7; AMD FX-8350 CPU; 32 GB Vengeance DDR3 RAM, Gigabyte GV-7850G-2GD GPU; SSD; 2 hard drives.
After hearing a rude noise, and the computer falling off, I now can't even get POST to run completely. I'm getting a C1h, 25h, F2h on the alphanumeric POST indicators.
I've checked the power supply with a DVM. The 3.3 volts is 3.215; 5 volts is 5.05 and 12 volts is 11.988, so they all appear good. The 5 volt signal on the green lead goes to zero on power up.
I'm getting nothing from the GPU to the monitor. The monitor is working fine. I've got it connected to my laptop to help relieve the strain on my old eyes.
Gigabyte's 'technical support' didn't even bother reading my message. I explained that I didn't have any spare parts. No spare PS, GPU, CPU or MB to troubleshoot with...and they sent me a reply telling me to swap out the PS, GPU, CPU and MB. Loads of help. (NOT!)
Anyway, I know I'm going to have to throw money at this problem, but I'd like to do it logically. I CAN eliminate the RAM, because I had a pair of bad Vengeance units that Corsair didn't want back when all four of my modules failed about 5 months ago. So while they were bad, they would let the computer boot and run. Now I can't get anywhere.
Oh, and I've reseated the GPU board. I haven't removed/reseated the CPU, and would rather not do that if possible!
Any reasonable suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks!
Gary
