My old system stopped working a year or so ago, only used it for old games etc as I have a newer rig but basically it stopped posting, all lights up and fans spn up etc but no beeps, no display etc.
The specs are -
Intel QX6800
Asus striker extreme
GTX 580
Coolermaster 1000w psu
I didnt really bother with it for a while as didnt use it for a lot but suspected it was either the motherboard or the psu. A few weeks ago I saw a secondhand striker extreme which I bought, was sold as tested and working so assume it is. Installed this board and does exactly the same. So I got a psu tester and everything that should light up does so, the only ones that dont are the -5v on the atx and the 3.3v ones on the 8 pin but again dont think any of these are needed.
So basically now im down to the cpu, would a cpu failing cause this error? I would have imagined it to still boot to the post screen and error with cpu fail or a beep error but it doesnt do any of this.
If not the cpu, what else could be causing it?
Its not that important as its a backup but ive spent a few hours on it now and wouldnt mind getting it working again.
Many thanks.
