Help very worried!!

topgun06 · 12 Jan 2007 at 18:28

Just turned PC on and im so worried.

The case fans connected to the motherboard don't spin, the PC doesn't boot, only the fan connected directly to the PSU spins. The graphics card fan spins but nothing else!

What has happened, is my motherboard buggered? :mad:

Just ask if you need to know anything else, specs in sig.

Try running on just one RAM stick. Then try the other one.

Nope, exactly same results

The green power light is on on the motherboard...

in the rare case, it could just be the fans are buggerd, have you switched them around?

a lot of poeple would claim this is pointless, but its happened to me.

If the fans are buggered, my PC would still boot... surely?

This has never happened to me before... could it be the CPU??

does the cpu fan spin?

try unplugging all unnessecory (sp?) stuff, like case fans, HD's, DVD-RW's, sound cards and just leave 1 stick of ram in

Tried. Still no luck.

Reseated the CPU and nothing

Thanks for the help guys! Keep the suggestions coming

well

if all the cables are connected correctly etc,

next step would be to swap components with working ones, you got a spare PSU, mobo, gfx card lying around, or can borrow ?

topgun06 · 12 Jan 2007 at 19:05

Ive got a spare PSU, Mobo, and graphics card which are the same. Also a different same-socket CPU. Should i try them all?

-Nick- · 12 Jan 2007 at 19:07

sounds like mobo, everything connected to it is not working. got a spare computer you can try the other parts on?

my advice try removing the complete motherboard from the case and booting it on a work surface, i had a similar problem and all it was that my motherboard was shorting against my case! so try the state procedure and let me know the result

1 by 1, to try and isolate the problem yes, not swap them all at once
