Computer does not boot up
Put my computer parts together, but nothing comes up on the screen. All the fans are running, the DVD opens and closes, I can hear the HDD spinning. I think when there is a RAM issue, it beeps. There are no beeps. I cannot find the green light on the mobo, so that may be significant. Doesnt that light come on the the PSU is plugged in? Any suggestions?

Your best bet would be to follow the "out of case build" instructions here:

I did all that and still get the same problem. What parts should I be concerned about?

Disconnect everything bar the PSU and see if you can get a fault beep out of the motherboard.

with only PSU, CPU and CPU fan attached, when I turn it on, only the PSU and CPU fan come on. No beeps. Does this mean a faulty motherboard?

I put in a different PSU that I know works and had the same issues. My other PC has the same Athalon X 2 CPU, so I will try that part and see if it makes a difference.

That has got to be worth a try, but a processor DOA is pretty rare.

different CPU made no difference. So should I RMA the motherboard? It powers everything, but I get no screen and it makes no beeps. With no RAM in, shouldnt it beep?

Give it a couple of hours and see if anyone else has any ideas but I think it's time to RMA the mobo. |
