Ok, so I accidently hit the 'sleep' button on my computer while trying to restart due to keyboard problems, then my computer completely shuts off to everything. Pressing buttons on the keyboard will not start it back up as it normally should when it is in sleep mode.
When I hit the power button the computer will turn on, all fans will turn on, a few lights do what they normally do, and the red light on the front flashes once. After that nothing happens, my keyboard does not light up, my moniters do not show anything, and I can get no response from anything apart from the cd drive, which still opens and closes normally.
I have tried:
-Swapping out the graphics card to an older one, (still compatible), and there is no change.
-Removing one, then both sticks of RAM, and replacing them in different orders, there is no beeping when they have been removed, and nothing changes throughout.
-Pluging the power supply into a different wall socket.
-Restarting the computer.
-Turning the power supply off then on then turning it on.
-Unplugging and replugging the cables for the harddrive
I am pretty sure this is a motherboard problem, but I have no idea how it could have been caused, as it was not overheating or anything like that.
Does anyone have any helpful information on problems like this to confirm it is a motherboard fault?
