Hi All, following on from a thread (http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17648872) I posted a couple of weeks ago about a computer that suddenly stopped working.
As per the thread, I figured that the powersupply was the problem, so I swapped it with one which I know to be fine. However, this has not fixed the problem.
When I try to switch the computer on, the CPU fan makes a feeble effort to spin and moves about 1 revolution, then an LED on the motherboard flashes and nothing else happens.
The really strange thing is that once this has happened, it won't happen again unless I switch the power off at the wall and leave it for 30 seconds or so. Then when I switch it back on the same happens again.
By the LED which flashs on briefly there is a some lettering which I think says something like CHRGE STD or something.
Does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be, is it a dead motherboard???
