Hello I always check this site for hardware questions, thank you all for providing this info. I guess this question has been asked many times, but still i wanted to confirm my answer.
My old computer (very old 7-8 years) suddenly stopped working. I have never changed anything except the rams and the hard drives. I gave it to my mother 1 year ago because i got a new one, she uses it for internet, torrentz and social media, no heavy use. She called me and told me that it gave a post error, but my mother doesn't know english and the only word she knew was DVD (i have only 1 drive now) i told her to restart the pc and if it could not open to wait for me. She did restart it and this message never reappeared.
Today I came home and I need to fix this now so the story goes: no beep, no display in general, monitor is working fine, i removed the rams, GPU, drives everything except CPU, MOBO and PSU. Still tha same thing, i removed the 4 pin cable from the mobo and still the same thing. Fans are wokring fine, so does the leds but still i suspect the power supply over the CPU or MOBO but still that POST error about the DVD drive makes me question my answer. Please correct me if i am wrong i have no spare parts to try, and not much time and I really need to fix this today.
Computer:
Intel 3,2 Ghz Plentium 4
Motherboard with ddr and ddrII slots (2+2) it can only use one type of memory (ddrII my case)
PSU: Premier DR-8400BTX 400 watt
GPU: ATI Radeon 1650X
Excuse my English (not my native language) and thank you in advance.
