So I built a nice rig this last summer. Turned it off at night and one morning I went to turn it on and it just wouldn't start. Specs then a bit about what ive done so far
Intel i7 930
Asus P6X58D-E
Asus ATI Radeon 5850
DDR3 RAM (6 GB)
Corsair SSD F60
Bunch a other HDDs (reg)
Thermallake 750 Watt power supply
So when I played with it a bit I couldnt get anything to budge- the red light was on at the motherboard's onboard power switch, so it had current, but the fans wouldnt spin on when I pressed it. Nothing worked.
I first bought a new power supply and that did nothing. The old one seems fine. I returned the new one. I RMA'ed the motherboard. Asus swapped it out for a new one (new SN). Now it will turn on- fans start up, but I get nothing. Just a black screen, no BIOS chip screens, no SATA load screens, no beeps. I bought a super cheap PCI-E video card, pulled the 5850, and no difference. Same result.
So what is left? Fried CPU? Fried RAM? How can I tell if its either of those and what do I do if it is? They should all be under warranty.
Wouldnt the BIOS load screens still come up even if the CPU + RAM were dead?!?
thanks- I am about a month into this and going insane without a real computer!
