I've been talking with Gigabyte tech support
-------------------------------------------
Computer wont boot.
When I power up the cpu fan and graphics card fan come on full but no signal to monitor. No beeps from motherboard either.
Have tried taking the battery out to reset cmos.
Have also tried re-seating the RAM, graphics card, etc.
Think motherboard is dead!

Hi,
Please trouble shoot one more time there are many things can cause system not boots up, here is the trouble shoot procedure :
Remove the board out of the case.
Please make sure 4/8pin 12v connector and MB 20/24 pin connector are both plugged; just install cpu , video card , single stick memory ( on slot 1 which is close to cpu ) and pc speaker ,turn system on if no video display comes up check error beep code :
-one long continue beep, it means memory can't pass bios check, try re-install memory or try other brand name memory,
- 3 beeps or 2 long and 8 short beeps then 2 then 1, it means video card can't pass bios check, try re-install video card firmly or try other video card
- no beep at all, try remove the memory with out memory turn system on check if any beeping signal ,
-without memory still no beeping signal symptom tells either motherboard or cpu is defective, test cpu in other system or test with an other known good cpu to confirm defective motherboard.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
i stripped everything out of the case, just the psu motherboard and cpu.
when i boot the cpu fan comes on, no beeps, after 10 seconds the computer reboots, cpu fan starts again and motherboard beeps continuously, it then reboots again
according to the manual a continous series of beeps indicates a power problem, how can you tell if a psu is dead?
is the motherboard fried or what?
