Hello all! A strange sequence of events has taken place recently. I am receiving the SAME problem on two DIFFERENT computers. Very strange. Any way, here's what happens: I turn on the computer. The fans will run, but that's about it. No beeps, no video, no sound. I've taken a couple steps to diagnose the problem: 1) I've stripped down the PC to just the Mobo, Fan, PSU, CPU, Memory, and Video card. 2) I've swapped the CPU; same results 3) I've taken out the memory; same results 4) I've tried a known working video card; same results. 5) I've removed the motherboard from the case and reinstalled it; same results. What is the problem? I think that the motherboard(s) is(are) dead (perhaps is SEDed them?). But, I'd like a second opinion and some other advice before I go shelling out more cash into my expensive metal box with fans. Thanks for your time.
What are the specs of these two systems and what power supplies (manufacturer and model) are they using?
The new machine has a Biostar M7VIK mobo and a Rosewill RV350. The other machine worked fine for 6 years or so, and just copped out recently. I'll post the specs for that machine later. The new machine is the one I'd really like to get working.
