| 265290 | 2004-08-25 09:59:00 | I suspect it's a faulty PSU - when switching on, no POST, but fan is running OK. How do I confirm this other than swapping with a known good PSU, (as I don't have a known good PSU to swap)? | bk T (215) | ||

What if the LED of the CD comes on and what if it doesn't come on? Thanks |

| 265295 | 2004-08-25 20:53:00 | If the LEDS on the CD/DVD turn on at least you know power is working to a point . What is it?? P2/P3/P4??/Other? If P4, normally the system wont run, if the 4 pin ATX 12v connection (from the psu), isnt plugged into the ATX 12v connector on the mobo mobo, to deal with the power to the CPU . BUT then I dont think the fan would be spinning either . It would be completely dead . Nothing would be going . (I maybe wrong) . I've never tried leaving this 4 pin connector off . |
