Head ache from hell...

We might be able to help you out a bit more if we knew the specs of your computer, i.e. CPU, PSU, Gaphic card etc etc.

*** ing idiot" or "did you check the power supply" well the answer to the second one is yes. I had the power supply tested and I had a green green up on the power. I also checked my video card and also had a green green up.

My question is how likely could the problem be my processor? Is there anyway of checking it besides sticking it in a thousand boards. Or am I just another dum Marine...

Well I think I have discovered the biggest headache since figuring out Michael Jackson's funeral arrangements. My problem consists of my set up not posting. But before we get into that I will give you a little back ground. My "original set-up" consisted of a K9N2 Diamond MSI board with a AMD Phenom II x4 940 processor. I also had 4 gigs of Crucial Ballistix 1066 DDR2 RAM. My Graphics card is a Nvidia 285 1 gb.

One afternoon of SLIGHT gaming I decided to power down my computer and go to the pool with my wife and kids. When I returned to power it up again all I got was the sound of fans turning on, hard drive spinning, and no visual. So I thought to myself "hm, thats odd." I tried once again to no avail. Then I began to get frustrated. This process continued for the better half of a hour. I noticed that the MSI K9N2 Diamond mother board was registering 4 Red (which are normally green) LEDs from the board. Now, these LEDs are normally green. I gritted my teeth and contacted MSI through their shitty online support. I EVENTUALLY got a diagram of what the LEDs meant. It basically said that if there are 4 Red LEDs then that means that the processor is dead or disconnected.

So, being the arrogant Marine that I am, I chose not to believe this and proceeded to buy another mother board assuming that this would solve the problem. I purchased the Gigabyte MA790GP-UD4H thinking this would solve the problem. Once again to no avail I get NO visual and NO posting. I refused to believe it was the processor again so I returned the board and got another one thinking I got a faulty piece of ***. Tonight I re-attempted my theory and AGAIN no posting. I know some of you are thinking "what a idiot" or "did you check the power supply" well the answer to the second one is yes. I had the power supply tested and I had a green green up on the power. I also checked my video card and also had a green green up.

My question is how likely could the problem be my processor? Is there anyway of checking it besides sticking it in a thousand boards. Or am I just another dum Marine...

Those are the specs on my power supply.

I think I'll be getting the same processor again but I'll have it hooked to the new mobo I have... This has been a frustrating experience.

I would definately say it is a dead processor.
