| 690220 | 2008-07-19 05:51:00 | A friend of mine is having 'puter problems. And I have just made them worse I think. His computer suddenly stopped showing anything on the screen. A fan was going though. I thought PSU, and took one out of a computer that worked. No go. Same problem. So then I put the PSU back in the 2nd computer and now that won't go either. I checked the monitor with a 3rd 'puter and it works fine. What should I check/replace next? |

| 690221 | 2008-07-19 06:05:00 | Did you connect the ATX 12v connector from the PSU to the mobo?? If its got one / if the mobo needs it, depending on the brand/model of the mobo |

| 690222 | 2008-07-19 06:07:00 | Yup, and double checked that one too | joemac (9739) | ||
| 690223 | 2008-07-19 06:10:00 | So when you say a fan was going, did it shut down while he was using it? Does it come on at all? Then shut down? Try another power point? |

| 690224 | 2008-07-19 06:11:00 | I got one here that is a bit of a mystery like that. I have tried changing everything one by one and it is still the same. PSU, Graphic Card, Memory, Motherboard, CPU, Monitor. Each work in another computer but all in the same computer nothing:-) |

| 690225 | 2008-07-19 06:13:00 | Plug it in, turn it on, you get a beep, fan on CPU and graphics card start. Lights on a USB card and HDD and Power lights on the front are going | joemac (9739) | ||
| 690226 | 2008-07-19 06:15:00 | If theres only one beep it sounds like its OK, but something isnt in properly | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 690227 | 2008-07-19 06:18:00 | ok, it looks like it has to have the graphics card in it too and I don't have a spare | joemac (9739) | ||
| 690228 | 2008-07-19 06:18:00 | err, what about 3 beeps? | joemac (9739) | ||
| 690229 | 2008-07-19 06:25:00 | Well if it doesnt have a video card in it, obviously u wont see anything | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
