| 470446 | 2006-07-13 00:25:00 | Ok so here's the situation, my comp is going fine then one day it wont boot. Everything appears to power on but no beeps and nothing comes up on the screen. There is power to the board, all the fans are going etc... Heres what I have tried: Tested HDD - OK, Tried swappping graphics cards, Tried taking out all cards etc.., Tried another Mobo with same CPU, Tried another CPU with same Mobo (the CPU or Motherboard were my guesses). Can anyone tell me what I should be trying next? :confused: |

| 470447 | 2006-07-13 00:30:00 | Power Supply ??. Not getting enough power to run properly. Sometimes part of the power supply fails so that it isn't giveing out enough power to run the computer. Trevor :) |

Trevor :) Hmmm PSU eh? well I guess I figured that if it was powering the fans and HDD etc.. that it would be ok... |

| 470451 | 2006-07-13 00:39:00 | Yes it might have enought power to run them but not enought to run the whole computer. Trevor :) |

| 470452 | 2006-07-13 00:45:00 | Ok thanks Trev, I'll try to find another PSU and give it a go. | FreakyNZ (10713) | ||
| 470453 | 2006-07-13 03:22:00 | Ok just purchased a new PSU and still no go, also I noticed that when I took all the RAM out it still doesn't beep! What does this mean? surely it should always beep at you when there's no RAM? | FreakyNZ (10713) | ||
| 470454 | 2006-07-13 03:23:00 | I had one do exactly as you describe it turned out to be faulty Ram | beama (111) | ||
| 470455 | 2006-07-13 05:24:00 | This might sound really stupid, but there are two things: When you say "nothing comes up on the screen" do you mean that the screen switches on, but no bios message on screen etc.? Or does the screen not switch on at all? Three things you can try before the ram- Check your monitor connections ie unplug, plug back in and screw the connector lugs into place to hold the monitor cable, also check the monitor power cord. Try starting up the comp with no HD connected, if you get the boot screen come up on your monitor, but don't get past Post it is likely a problem with the HD If that's no good try the ram in different slots ie if you've got two sticks of ram try it with one stick only or read your m/board manual to see if you can put both sticks (or if you only have one stick) in different slots. If you're running Windows, you could try booting from the CD and see what happens. Stick the Windows CD in, restart comp and if you've got the bios configured to boot from CD it might bring up the Windows install screen. |
