Fans spinning but not booting
I'm trying to trouble shoot my dad's computer. It's factory built from a couple of years ago. It died so I bought him a SeaSonic 350 watt PSU. Plugged it in and it worked fine. My dad wanted to speed it up so he bought a couple sticks of ram. I installed them for him, but when I went to turn the system on it didn't boot.
The CPU fan and the PSU fan spin for half a second and the green power LED turns on, but no HDD spinning and no video. I have to switch off the PSU, to try again and the same thing happens. I tried putting the old ram back in same thing happens. I tried putting only one stick of ram in each slot seperately, same thing. I unplugged everything but the motherboard and the PSU. Still nothing. I tries PSUs I know work, still nothing. What else should I try? |

Followed that guide, but nothing changes. I tried reseting the CMOS with the jumper and the battery. Same thing. Anyone know what's wrong? What component we fried?

Try it with just psu, cpu and at least a stick of ram (preferably all known to be working) on the board. Judging from everything you've said, though, sounds like you got a fried board there. |

sorry I didn't proofread. I had one stick of ram in and the CPU was plugged in. I guess I'll get a new board and see what happens.
