Hi,
I have OS X and Win 8 both installed on the same ssd. It's a Windows PC, by the way. Yesterday I ised GParted cd to remove the Mac partition and then Windows didn't boot. So I used the bootrec buildbcd command to fix it and it booted fine. Then, within Windows, I copied some files from a Mac partition in my 2tb hdd to an NTFS partition within the same hdd. It went fine. Then I had to restart to go back to GPARTED CD and do more deleting, but the computer didn't boot. It was stuck on 1333mhz memory or something like that. So what I did to fix that was unplug the ssd where win is installed. Then the boot succeeded and it asked me if I wanted to revert to "last known good" bios settings. I selected to do that and it booted fine. Then I restarted, win installed updated and since then, the following happens when I turn the PC on:
It powers on. The lights on the motherboard turn on. The cpu fan is running. However, there's no image on the screen - it stays on power saving mode. There's no beeping from the motherboard whatsoever as well. I removed everything from the motherboard: ram, gpu, audio cases and the ssd and hdd. When I turn it on, it sounds no beeps at all, not even an error beep, like the long one you'd get by removing the ram.
Is the motherboard dead? I tried removing the cmos battery for a few minutes, to no avail.
