hello alll

i finished building a pc up for a friend, i tested and it worked like a charm, i packed it really really well, sent it via parcel2go.

my friend recieved it the next day and the pc powers up but wont post at all.

we tried clr cmos and removing the battery, still nothing.

there are no visible signs of damage to the case he says but the 3 of the harddisk trays were at angle which i found wierd.

its a:

Antec Sonata 2 case
Gigabyte K8nXP Sli
2gb OCZ Platinum.
4 HDDS
Seasonic s12
HIS x1900xt
audigy 2.

any ideas or opionions why people?

cheeers

Sounds like it was dropped and landed dead flat (ie no damage), but hard enough to dislodge something. I'd try reseating the memory, graphics and try booting up again.

well he is sending it back to me to have a look?

there is def power going throught but no post, i,m thinking the board is borked.

i asked him to checkeverything and he did everything see in place he said but must a dmit he is a bit dopey?

what do you recon it will be to stop it from posting?

Loose ram or gfx card will stop it from it from posting

or dead bios chip.

according to him he said everything was in so all the teeth are in the slots.

but he is a bit dopey

i think there is some pressure there that could have cracked the MB or stopping it from booting.

Did he try the monitor on the other outout on the gfx card ( if it has one ).

And thismay sound daft, but was the monitor switched on

Probably been dropped..I hope you insured it as i am sure you could put a claim into royal mail for lost or damaged items if you cannot fix the problem.
