sho95 · 05-05-2008, 05:51 PM

This past Sunday I was using my PC the after I went out side for a minute and came back it was off. So, I turn it back on and nothing, no beeps no post just fans turning. I unplugged HDD then Ram but I still got same issue. I then got another Motherboard that had worked before but same issue again. Could it be my PSU? Please help.

I'm leaning towards RAM or PSU...

Take out all your RAM sticks. Put in one at a time and try to boot.

The hard drive plays no role in preventing your computer from starting up, unless you randomly swapped PCB boards.

A dead/dying hard drive will only prevent detection during POST, freeze during POST, or boot disk failure...

I took the PSU to a fried and tried it on his pc and it worked. So I then borrowed his PSU and tried it on my pc and it worked. Thank you all for the help
