CPU

[hussainw]

Hi,

I am having issues with my pc displaying anything. When i opened the cover and looked at my motherboard there was a red light for the cpu.

My graphics card fan was not rotating, so i am wondering the issue may lie in the power connecting to the cpu power or the actual CPU? Is there a way to tell?

Motherboard: ASUS RAMPAGE 3 EXTREAME
POWER SUPPLY: CORSAIR 850W

Any help would be much appreciated to identify the issue.

Was it working before or is this a new build?

Have you checked the 8 pin CPU power connector?

re:

Hi,

The mother board has two seperate 4 pin cpu power pins, the power supply has two 4 pin connections i have tried to plug in different combinations but still has not resolved the issue.

Were you messing around with anything inside the case prior to this happening or is it just something that has suddenly started by itself?

First thing I would try is removing all but one stick of RAM and resetting the BIOS.

What card is it?

I havent messed around with anything, however i had some issues around 2months ago when this happend, but i just replugged the power to the 4pin cpu connector and everything was fine. It was a random event.

How will resetting the bios cure the issue?

CARD: ATI 5870 RAD

Rgds,

Have you tried plugging in both 4 pin connectors together?

They join together to make an 8 pin connector and then you plug that in.
