So I went to restart my computer one day and it wouldn't turn on. The motherboard got no power )no fans, no lights, nothing) and the green LED wouldn't come on. I had a feeling it was the motherboard as it was the second time this one had died on me. I jumped the power supply with a paper clip and it turned on, along with the Optical drive and the two hard drives and the fan on the CPU. So it appeared those were working fine.
I sent the board off to be RMAed, and I just got the replacement back today. I reinstalled everything, and this time I get power, but I get no beeps, and the board won't post. The drives all run, and the CPU fan spins as well as all the fans in the case and the video card. The green LED even comes on.
I've tried removing the battery, removing every component aside from the CPU, and clearing CMOS. Still nothing. Power, but no beeps or post.
One time while I was turning on the machine I heard a small pop and experienced a burnt smell and the board shut off. It started up in about a minute when I tried again and I thought it might have been the speaker burning out, but nonetheless the baord still won't post and still power's everything up.
Does anyone have any idea what this sounds like? Could this be the board (it is refurbished) or something else? My system specs should be located in my signature for reference.
This is my first post here and I thank anyone in advance for any assistance they may offer.
