Hey
I have had this computer since 5 years. Me and my brother assembled it ourselves at home. The current configuration is
1. Gigabyte turbo 3d
2. N VIDIA MSI 460 graphic card
3. Cooler master real power pro 850
4. Cooler master v8 heat sink
5. Corsair DDR3, 2 RAM of 2 GB each
6. WD HDD, 2 of 1 TB each
Connection pin on one of the HDD was damaged already but i fixed the connector carefully so that it worked without any glitch. Also start button was sticky i. e. I had to press it little hard to boot my system.
I had to format my PC due to clutter that was piling up. But having lost my own windows CD, I sent it to local PC shop. They installed the windows for me. After they returned my CPU it did really fine it next morning until suddenly the power for house failed and computer died. Assuming everything will be fine once the electricity would come back, I left the system as it is.
Light came but now my computer won't start. The red light glowed at the back of the CPU case. But nothing else would move. Fans won't turn , no beep sound. Everything is dead inside.
On asking the repair shop , they said coz the system is so old and as I was not using any UPS , the VGA chip must be damaged.
Please tell, what do they mean exactly.?
Can a damaged VGA kill the computer?
How can I fix this?
Thanks
