I am at a loose end and just looking for some help before I buy replacement parts.
<I am now saving up to rebuild a machine, I just need to try and get this pc up and running in the meantime>
My computer is self built mainly with parts from OcUK, anyways it has run with zero problems for the last 2 years without a single glitch.
Randomly last month my PC stoped booting first time, sometimes it would take 1 to 3 trys (once the pc was booted it had zero issues) and as long as the pc stayed on it was all good.
On the times the pc did not boot, everything was running HDD, CD rom, GFX but my CPU fan was not spining up and I would get no signal to my monitor.
This started to get worse this week to the point I got it booted and backed everything up just in case, now my pc no longer boots no matter how many times I try.
All the above has no beeping of any kind.
Things I have done so far
Barebones system, nothing but CPU + fan (connected outside the case to rule out shorting) CPU heats up but fan does not start, the fan does nudge and spin a little when I power the machine down.
Removed the CMOS battery, booted with and without after reset (no effect)
GFX card powers up, HHD powers up, CD rom etc
Which leads me to belive its either the Motherboard or PSU. (since the CPU heats up does that rule out the motherboard completly?)
Motherboard: GA-P35C-DS3R
CPU: ZM600-HP (600w)
GFX: 8800 GTS OC
CPU: Itel Dual Core 2.66 (I forget the exact details, I will dig them up)
Any advice would be greatful.
