My desktop if driving me nuts man
It just died a while back and when i turn it on the fans just spin up endlessly but the system doesn't boot
I've tried a new processor, new motherboard, new RAM and a different power supply but it STILL won't work!
I tried clearing the CMOS, still didn't work

Do you get post?

El_Mayo · Jan 11, 2010

No, no post beep

Check if it does the POST if you disconnect hard-drive and dvd drive. Also remove all pci / pci-e cards and use onboard sound and video (if available).
Basically disconnect everything, USB etc... and check if it POSTs. Then plug back hardware one by one, checking in between.

Dead motherboard, and probably, from what it sounds like is that your putting stuff on your motherboard frying it all :cry:

Lets hope it isnt your motherboard, and lets hope you should have tried everything you had on another computer and not switch parts on the same motherboard.

maybe is just bad ram, but worst case scene is you just racked up a bunch of fryed parts :eek:

I haven't plugged a keyboard into it ever, because it's never booted ;(

Are you sure the RAM you're using is compatible with the motherboards you've tried?

InnocentCriminal · Jan 11, 2010

Have you discharged the system? Take out the mains from the PSU, turn it off and press your power button a couple of times.

Might be worth investing in a PSU tester.

yeah the RAM i was first using was the same RAM i used when the computer worked
it just kinda crashed one day and never turned back on

Fourstaff · Jan 11, 2010

Maybe the computer suffered multiple failures?

If it's the same RAM you had been using when your pc crashed, then it's likely the RAM which is the problem.

Dunno what like though
had the cpu oc/d to 3.0ghz at 1.35v
and it ran fine
then i overclocked the intergrated graphics to 700mhz and played cod4 and it just crashed that day

So have you tried replacing two parts at one time, as per multiple failure theory?
