Help!! mobo or gpu died...

snaggster · 26 Sep 2010 at 11:14

Hi gents. Turned my rig on this morning and it wouldnt post. I took the side of to clear the cmos, and noticed the gpu fan wasnt spining. All the mobo keeps displaying is FF, even when i reset. It wont go though the post codes.
Does anybody have any ideas what could be the problem?

does your motherboard have a vga port on the back of it? if so remove your gfx card and try booting without it

Not sure, but for now may be you could try removing the battery from the motherboard for a few mins then put it back? It had helped me with solving problems that clearing CMOS couldn't in the pass.

Hope affaid not. Though its not making any difference to the post if the card is in or not.
