Hi,
I built my sister a system out of some spare parts. All i needed was a mobo and RAM. First I bought an ECS board, it would power up the fans on the board but would not POST, so I returned it and spent a few more extra bucks on an ASUS. The ASUS came in, I did a test fire on it with just the cpu, ram, and video card in it. The green LED came on, but would not power up the fans or POST, so I exchanged it for a new one. When the new one came in I did the same test, and VIOLA! Success!
My sister was very happy, she could now play her SIMS game, which makes me happy. Then tradegy struck. She called me and told me that she tried to turn on her computer today and it would not turn on...
"Great" I thought to myself. So she brought it over for me to look at. I took off the side of the case, plugged in the power cord. The green light came on, on the motherboard signaling it was recieving power. Then I pushed the power on button, and nothing happens. The fans do not power up, it does not POST.
What the heck is going on?? Am I cursed? Is it possible for the board to just stop working like this? Its been running fine for a couple weeks.
Specs:
Asus P4S800D-X
478 P4 1.8 400mhz
512mb PC-2700
Geforce 4 Ti4200
