So my PC doesn't even try to POST... Fans spin, front leds shine(although my HDD led is flashing in a constant frequency, like every 1,5 secs in i connect my HDD), disk drive works. And here is how it happened:
My PC was a little bit dusty so i decided to clean in. I was cleaning it with compressed air from a distance that nothing gets torn apart from the pressure. I also removed the front plastic cover(where the power button is and the leds) and i also disconnected the little cables from the mobo to completely remove it and clean it because i had an unexpected pet in there(spider) and there were webs all over the place. I also removed the HDD, disk drive, RAMs, GPU. Also took off the heatsink to check the thermal compound.. every thing seemed fine when i cleared it from dust. When i got it all back together, of course i tried to turn it on to see how many times it beeps because usually it never runs clean from the first try after putting it back together... So i turned it on and nothing! Not a single beep, then as usual i tried to check the contacts from the RAMs and GPU. Still nothing, then i tried to remove everything except mobo(lol) and CPU. So everything else was removed... Still no beep. Then i tried to reset the CMOS memory by removing the battery.. nothing... then reset the bios with the jumper.. noting... and now we are back to the present...
I also have to mention that my pc sometimes randomly turned on seconds after i turned my router on which was extremely strange. I tried the PSU on another PC and it worked perfectly so the only suspects left are the CPU and the MOBO.
Also my mobo is pretty old, it has only 2 RAM slots. If you need any other info to help me solve the problem, feel free to ask for it! I will reply if i forgot to mention something!
Help is much appreciated!
