As the title says. I was originally diagnosing a weird humming noise and my PC freezing/showing no display randomly. Monitor and cables all checked and tested fine. No weird temp spikes. Stress tested both CPU and GPU. Both fine and perform as normal. Memtest found nothing at all either.
Figures this was a hardware problem. Took the PC apart whilst taking ALL precautions against static. Put it back together in the case after testing PSU (shorting wire fan test. Works ok). Damn thing doesn't start up now. Checked ALL connections three times. Still no boot. Left it for a few days to settle itself down and sort itself out maybe? Tried booting again. Still nothing. Took apart again and re-assembled. Tried again. Still nothing.
Figured I needed to breadboard this machine. Took it apart for the third time. Only used motherboard, CPU & HSF and MOBO speaker. Tried shorting two power pins on MOBO. No boot or any sound from MOBO speaker. FUUUUUUUUU. Tried a confirmed working PSU. Same result.
Now I should mention green light on motherboard comes on so there is power somewhere. Worked through the checklist on here for this problem. Still nothing. Reset CMOS battery, triple checked connections and suspected faulty PSU. Still nothing
Only thing I can think of is a dead Motherboard. No fans spin, no beeps from speaker even when breadboarded. Am I right and has anyone else been through this like I have? Help much appreciated.
