[Solved] If processor is bad will system display show any info

HP Pavillion dv9000 / dv9410us AMD Turion 64 x2 processor.
If processor is bad will system display show any info?
I am not receiving any post beeps and LED's come on , however, LED's only light up for 23 sec. and blink off this cycle continues 3 times and system shuts down after 3rd cycle. Or could it be the MOBO???

If ur CPU is bad, the mobo should still start and boot bios before shutting down, Try plugging ur laptop with a desktop monitor to confirm the screen is fine or not first.


U can get a nice Athlon Neo dual core on newegg rite now, if the cpu is really dead

better graphics than any atom, L4D2 is playable, ironically

It is doubtful that the CPU is bad; there are a lot of other more likely components that could cause this. First of all try resetting the CMOS memory.

^Agree with above, it might simply be a bad PSU. A single rail can, and usually does go bad on a PSU, leaving the other rail working, so even though you are seeing some power to the system, it is not supplying power to everything. Second thing, it may be the board. Motherboards are made up of many multiple parts, circuits, capacitors, and regulators that very well could have been low quality when the board was made, or have endured to many power surges, or whatever, but they do just "go bad" from time to time.
A processor is the very, very last thing to suspect, processors just don't go bad normally. You have to be doing something pretty outrageous, or plain stupid to kill a processor.
