I had a old pc that was my dads pc it has been runinng fine for i think 4/5 years now? the PC won't turn on any more i mostly likely think its the PSU (580W Hiper) I KNOW...

Anyway the PC spec was
AMD X2 3800 (939)
1GB 2x512MB Crucial
ATI 3800 512MB (brand new)
DFI NF4 UT-Ultra-D
2 DVDROM

i don't really want to sell the components in the MM as they could be knackered due to whatever failng & nothing else to test it on as everything i have is I7+.

im also relucant to buy a new PSU incase everything dead or its Actually somthing else like the Motherboard.

Any Suggestions on best course of action?:rolleyes:

Thanks

Plug the psu from your i7 system into it and see if it turns on

Remove psu from the amd system and jump start it by shorting green wire to black, see if it starts

Try turning system on with the ram missing and hope for beeps
 
If you can't get hold of any other components your best bet is running a skeleton rig outside of the case - one stick of ram, gfx card and nothing else to see if it will post. If it does start adding components and see when it buckles.
