Post Code 83, no post or power (help)

[EricVPI]

I was cleaning my case for dust with compressed air and checking power connection to make sure they were all fit.

Now my computer won't turn on. When I push the power button, the mobo doesn't post, and no fans start spinning. About 3 seconds after I hit the power button, I get a long beep followed by a short beep, the mobo says POST CODE 8.3.


I have an Abit AX7. Please help...

I replaced the PSU with a new Antec one and now fans actually start spinning and power flows when I hit the power button.


Now I get "post code error 8.7 (check cpu voltage), the computer makes one long beep, three short beeps, and then shuts down.


WTF?!??!!??!

Problem was two-fold.


PSU went bad (replaced it, fixed the 8.3 problem), and went I bumped the comp against the wall carrying it (not hard), it BENT some of the pins on my processor.

I had to get a damn pin and try to adjust about 15 bent pins, and was terrified I'd have to buy a new processor.




Sigh. Worst 24 hours ever.
