How do I know what is bust???

OK my old computer is bust... won't even post.

Now I'm not sure exactly what is wrong but have narrowed it down to the Mofo or the Chi(m)p (MSI k7t pro2 and a 1.4tbird)

is there any way of testing which one is bu99ered short of buying a new one of each and returning the one that works?

Thx

Kazza

 

needs moving to hardware m8

cmon mr. mod.. we're waiting

 

What exactly do u get?

Edit: of course the board bloody dosen't POST!

lol

Does it bleep?

Classic symptoms: board goes "beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep"

If it was the CPU then it's more than likely the board would still bleep, otherwise its ur mobo. Sure its not ur psu?

lol



Maybe I'll write some articles on troubleshooting and put em up on my web

 

same thing happened to me. it waas my mobo. i had a K7S5A, and the bugger would just turn the fans on, and thats it. try and ask a mate to let u test your cpu in his/her mobo and see if it works.

 

Dammit that's the same mobo as I've got

lol

Well mine's under warranty anyway

 

I yanked out the battery and tried again and it's working again... that's saved me some cash!

 

Great!

Good luck dude

 

Dr_Kazza.

First thing, does it beep? YES/NO

if YES: Good, not the BIOS.

if NO: Try taking out the chip and put it in another

Try another PSU,
Try another Chip,
Try another RAM,
Try another GPU,
Do the Fans spin?
Unplug all HDD's

You can narrow down the problem by doing all this. Still got a problem then post back after you've tried this.
