Hey guys , I got an emachines pc here from a friend and I don't know whats wrong. It had a bad psu because I could not get any power at all. I replaced the psu with one I had here that was good. I now have power and every thing is starting up . It has onboard video. Ican hear the HD spinning up but I can't get any video or into the bios to change anything. I took the HD out and hooked it to my system and got all her documents and pictures off. I even put a AGP video card in but still the same problem. The monitor works as I tried it on my system. It simply comes up and says no signal and the appears to go into a suspend mode ( meaning the power light goes from Blue to Amber and just sits there. I'm all out of options other than the mobo being bad.Sorry for the long post but I wanted to give all the info I tried.

If it's was bad RAM why'd you buy a motherboard? :rolleyes: Doubt it's worth upgrading a prebuilt...

As ive mentioned before, 'windowsvista' has all but proven his competency :rolleyes:

windowsvista, just my friendly two cents, it would do you some good to read and learn more on the topics before posting repeats of what previous members have said. I dont attest to be a genius on many of these topics by any means, but I do make an effort to read and understand the topic at hand before posting a comment. If someones mentioned it before, then just leave it be. You make me doubt your 'quality vs quantity' statement.

Again, just a friendly two cents.
 
Tried new ram , no luck .Tried different psu no luck.Changed all cables and put a AGP card in to get around onboard video, no luck. Only other thing that it could be is a mobo.
 
Last resort try taking it out of the case and put on a box, plug in the P/S power connectors- hook the harddrive up- case power switch-one stick of ram and the monitor, plug in the P/S- turn it on and see what happens.
 
Tried everything has to be a bad mobo. No signs of burn marks or blown caps. I know for sure the psu went bad and it probably took out the mobo.I looked around for a socket A mobo ( which are hard to find) and decided to tell it's not worth fixing. Going to build her a new one when she gets her tax refund. Thanks for all the help.
