Ok, so I built a system for myself about 6-7 months ago with the following specs (non OC):
Core 2 Duo E6700
MSI P965 Platinum
Crucial 667 DDR2, 3-3-3-12
Antec Basiq PS Dual rail 500W
Nvidia 7900GS
It ran pretty well until yesterday. I decided to shut down the system for the night and while shutting down it shut off very suddenly. I was sleepy and didn't think too much about it, but this morning it won't startup properly.
The system itself starts to power up, all the fans are running as well as the hard drives. But I noticed it does not send the reset signal to devices. i.e. the keyboard lights do not blink on, and the monitor does not power up.
Does this mean the motherboard is screwed? Any tips or suggestions on how to troubleshoot and what could be wrong?
Thanks!
