CPU - Problem I think!?

[Gabriel]

ok so here is the thing, had a computer running

ASROCK Motherboard Skt A
AMD Athlon 2400 +
1 GB RAM
NVIDIA Geforce FX 5600
80 GB Hard drive...
400W PSU

problem is this, it was working fine then all of a sudden it just stopped booting up, turns on power light comes on, HDD light stays on and my monitor says no signal been received. also the mouse does not light up (laser on bottom) no beeps from motherboard and the computer does not boot.

Tried -

Unplugging all ATA devices and letting it boot
using the onboard graphics
Unplugging ram (this caused the contiuous beep Showing that no ram was present)



after this I think the only possible thing it could be is the processor, any ideas ?

I have actually bought a brand new Motherboard, unfortunatly only could find an asrock one ..... lol and it's doing the same thing

There is a similar problem with the dell GX270's and it is caused by some of the capacitors on the motherboard have buldged or burst. Probably not the same problem but maybe worth looking at the top of your capacitors and making sure they are all alright

Will do, keep the ideas coming though guys please
