I am in need of some advice as I have reached the end of my computer super geek powers. I was having some thermal issues with my custom built system. The specs are as follows, for reference purposes:
Antec LanBoy Case w/ CoolMaster 650 W PSU (replacement of orginal PSU)
Intel D875PBZ MB w/ Intel Socket 478 3.6 GHz Pentium 4 CPU
2-512 Mb DDR Ram
2-30 Gb Hard Drives & 500 Gb Hard drive
52X CD Burner (Creative)
DVD-Rom (Sony)
Floppy
256 Mb AGP Video Card (Manf unknown at this time)
The problems started with the graphics going pixelated, which would correct itself after reboot. Then the system would shut down and give an error stating that the system had thermal issues and had shut down as a protective action. The last issue was I shut the system down over the weekend and returned to it on Monday it would not boot up. The fans would spin up but not POST, not even a beep tone.
I was advised to check all the connections and found Pin 13 on the PSU connection to the MB was scorched inside the connector. I was then advised to replace the PSU and the MB as the surge most like ly damaged the MB.
I replaced the MB with an identical model with a new PSU and now the fans will not even spin up. I press the power button and they will spin for less than a second and then nothing. At least before they would still spin but the rest of the system would be silient.
Does anyone have suggestions, comments or opinions? I have been told that the CPU may be fried or the MB Memory may have been comprimised.
Thanks in advance.
