Hi All! I am hoping someone can give me some ideas of what to try next...
Here is my setup:
MOBO: ECS P45T-A2R
Proc: Q6600
Graphic card: GeForce 8500
I had the same problem with my system 6 months ago, so I bought a new mobo and set it up with this new one. Now the same thing is happening again!
Ever month or so, the computer would suddenly just not POST. I would go in, remove the battery, unplug the main power to the motherboard, and it would usually start back up. This time, it is not coming back up. Last I saw was it froze up in the middle of the very first few lines of the BIOS startup.
I removed the mobo from the case to eliminate the possibility hat it could be a case switch problem. Now I have it out with only the graphic card, memory, and CPU in. It will power up when I short the 2 pins for power, but it will not POST or show anything on the screen. Sorry all, there is no speaker, so I have no beep codes to help me out.
I connected a different power supply, an aerocool zero dba 620W, and it will not power up the system.
Q: since the aerocool is a higher end, does it have protection built in if it detects a short, which is why it will not power up?
Any thoughts on what I can do to check if it is the mobo? I don't want to buy another mobo and have this happen again!
Thanks for any advice
