Right, so my m8's Seasonic S12 600W psu went boom, and then his pc wouldnt work, At this point he didnt know the psu was broke, so he got a new mobo becuse he thought it had died , then plugged it in, and it wouldnt power up, so he takes back the psu to ocuk and it turns out its dead. So he gets a new Epsilon 700W psu to replace it,

So i turn up at his house this morning, and plug the new psu into the Second motherboard. It wouldnt power up, So i plug the new psu into and asrock 939 mobo and it powers up fine.

Right so i repackage the second mobo and we drive down to ocuk today to get a replacement, the chap on the desk said we can test it whilst you wait :) , so me and my mate wait ten mins and he comes back and says the mobo is DOA, so we get a replacement, This 3rd mobo is now put back into the case, all plugged in and powers up.

Here is the problem " NO SIGNAL " from the monitor, i tried a second gfx and its still " No Signal "

So, here is my question, when the psu went boom, did it kill the CPU, Ram and anything else ?

Many Thanks TaKeN :)
 
Hmm i dont think it would protect a psu from blowing up your system lol,

From what i gather, when a psu blows, it sends too much power to everything and frys it.

A surge protector is just for lightening strikes etc
 
The case is a Thermaltake Armour, and there isnt a speaker in the case, so i cant hear the beeps.

I think that the makers of power supply units should be made to pay for replacing all the pc parts should their psu kill your system
 
Right lads.

Its been a very sad day Imo.,

Ive rigoressly tested his pc and found. The psu killed his 3700 San Diego :eek: might not sound too bad at first, but it was a CAB2E One of the best clockers so ive heard, and he never even tried to clock it :eek:

Coulda been a 3Ghz chip :p
 
Yh, i tried new ram with the old cpu, and it wouldnt give a screen output,

So i removed the 3700 SD and put in my Old 3500 Venice, and it booted straight away.
