| 830049 | 2009-11-14 07:37:00 | re Question 10> its a process of elimination - if you know certain components are OK then they can be eliminated hence the reasoning for removing parts not required to get a boot, even into BIOS. Sooner or later you will be left with the faulty part, normally in this case I would bet a Motherboard, as they are more likely to fail than a CPU, unless it was "highly" overclocked and running hot. The Corsair PSU should be OK as it was new. I wouldn't be surprised if the board / or CPU was the cause of the original problem, the other PSU may have been OK. Look on the light side - I turned on my psu but didnt disconect the 12v thingy from the mobo and smoke came out of the cpu. That cant be good. Theres the problem - every one knows a PC runs on smoke - let the smoke out and its knackered. :D Nothing worse than an intermittent fault - as I always say to customers - lets hope the damn part blows, at least that way you know exactly where the fault is. Edited: Idk but what ever it is it smells bad, really bad! Do cpus have poisens in them????? Well I wouldn't go sniffing / inhaling it - just make sure every thing has the power disconnected, dont want a fire. |
