My Custom built Computer which i have used for about 7 months ocassionally does not post. Though the fans spin, hard drive spins but nothing comes up on the monitor. I have checked all the connections. When the Computer does turn on, i have stressed the CPU and the GPU using various software. I have also ran Memtest around two weeks ago with about 10 passes with failures. Any help is greatly appreciated.
bios update maybe ? have you tried a different GPU ? has it always occasionally not posted since you've had it ?
I don't have a spare/working GPU available but from the stress test, it passed so i don't think its that. And no, it only started today; yesterday it was working perfectly. I have checked any recent windows updates but none for today/yesterday.
Have you tried removing the motherboard battery to clear the CMOS? It always fixed these kind of issues for me.
I couldnt remove the battery but i did short circuit opr whatever tits called the two puinns below it to default the cmos
best bet is to remove the battery ? should be easy enough to do just get a screwdriver and push the clip back and it will pop right out. oh turn all the power off first lol.
I tried to do that, short circuit8ing the pins does the same thing. At least according to my motherboard hand guide
yeah i know but ive found doesnt always do what it says its doing and sometimes ive had to remove battery to fully reset my board.
hmmmm well if it is not posting its most likely down to the mobo. tried a different monitor or DVI output ? is it posting but you cant tell or does it not actually post
