sorry for this long post. just bought a new AMD PC a few days ago, these are the specs:
AMD 1 GHz C
256MB Crucial Ram Stick (1 stick)
Abit KG7 Raid DDR Board
2 20GB Maxtor HDD (Raid 0 config)
Inno3D 32MB DDR GTS Graphics Card
300W Powmax PSU
52X AOpen CDROM Drive
12X 8X 32X Sony CD Writer
Creative Audigy DE Soundcard
Creative Inspire 5300 Speakers
Global Win Cak38 HSF
Global Win 8 Case exhaust fan
USB Motorola Cable Modem
The computer was assembled by the shop I bought it from, and everything was working fine at first. Thus, I decided to put in my old 6.4GB Western Digital HDD.
I wired it as the Primary Slave, but the system had some problems with it. After trying to config the thing, suddenly there was a spark (the casing was open) and the whole computer powered down. No more HDD lights or power lights.
I turned on the system again, and I still experienced the HDD problem of having a failed boot disk. I kept restarting the system and then deleted my Raid Array. However, it was then that I smelt a burning smell. I immediately turned off the PSU, and smelt around the open casing. I determined that the Aopen CDROM Drive seemed to be giving out the smell, so I unplugged the power wire to it.
Then I turned it on again, and this time, although the HDD light and power light came on, the monitor did not receive any input, and the LED was orange in colour. I thought that perhaps the VGA Cable of the monitor is broken in the middle, so I moved the cable around and restarted several times, but nothing seems to work. The power and HDD LEDS continued to be on, but after about 20 seconds, the HDD LEDS will go off, and the system will go into a "hang" state. The Numlock and Capslock button will not work.
I thought that the CPU burnt itself out, but I did not OC it, and the HSF was installed by my dealer. To be sure, I left the system on for about a minute, and touched the copper heatsink. The heatsink felt hot. The fan of the GTS Card was also turning.
I took out the GTS card and tried an old S3 Virge PCI Video card, still it won't work. I cleared the CMOS several times. My monitor worked with my older PC. I flipped the Crucial Ram stick around, and all I got was beeps from the system speaker.
I took out almost everything except for the graphics card, still it won't work. The PSU fan and case fan were also turning and everything was receiving power. I returned the whole computer to its original state (except for that "burnt" cdrom drive), and still it won't work. There wasn't anything - no beeps, nothing!
Anybody can help me pls?
