I didnot remove the IDE cables when the computer is on. I did it when it was off. What i want to know is How to you tell if its the mb or the cpu. I dont want to buy a mb, and find out its the cpu. I dont hear any beeps from the computer at all. Both PSU and CPU fan both run. A green light is on the motherboard. And the HD light is constantly on, but the HD is not spinning. The only time it will spin, is when i shut the computer off, unplug the IDE cables, and then turn it back on. What is strange is that there is no signal to the Video Card, and no signal to the HD or the DVD drive. is there a way to tell if its the CPU or the motherboard. IF theres no beeps, even after i take the ram out too, what would that say. I checked the cpu, took the heat sink and cooling fan off, and it looks as good as new, no burnt smells, not even hot. pins are ok.
