Swapped pc from one case to another, now doesn't work :(

put it back in your original case and try it, may be a short circuit, and make sure you've put in the switch/hdd lights correctly and all that.

Static damage is pretty unlikely IMO.

I agree but there is definitely an issue that has arose with the CPU/Motherboard from moving it from one case to another from what we've eliminated through testing other components.

Give it a rest guys ....

Have some respect for the dead

When I press the power button The CPU fan spins for a split second the stops. Nothing else seems to spin or work.

I have a green light on my mobo p5q pro and new case is antec 300.

I counted 10 mobo standoffs and 9 screws. Realised antec had pre installed some. So stripped out all out and tried again. But removing the extra standoff.

Same deal. Checked connections.

Where do I start

Help please

Damo

Have you checked the back of the motherboard for any damage the extra standoff may have caused?

BringTheRain · 31 Jul 2011 at 08:36

Will have a look now

BringTheRain · 31 Jul 2011 at 08:46

Two patches on the rear of the mobo. Look like dusty area or White/Greyish.

They line up with the sata connections and the
Near the 8 pin area.

Not very "pc" I don't know what that is lol. I know it's a CPU of some sort. Trouble is I am skint.

he said he'd give it to you lol, it's a pretty good S775 quad core to my knowledge

Furos · 31 Jul 2011 at 08:57

Its a quad core cpu same socket as the one your using. I said you could have it...as in free lol. Just need to find out if indeed your cpu is dead or your motherboard. Either way the offer stands :-)

BringTheRain · 31 Jul 2011 at 09:04

Blimey!

Speechless really. Problem is I don't know anyone who is into pc's and I don't have a h spare parts. I don't have anything really.

Is there anyway to find out if the mobo is dead or CPU? Or is it a case of swapping parts out?

What do you guys think I should do now?

Thanks for all the help.

I shed a few tears last night

I JUST had enough money to buy a case and two fans. As I am just getting into pc gaming. Was playing world of tanks. Dave sold me an gts250 for £25 and while playing the game. It felt like I was playing a £10000 pc compared to my 360

pooley · 31 Jul 2011 at 09:07

This sounds eerily similar to what happened to me when I was swapping a AM2+ setup between cases, i'm like wtf?. I had to buy a new mobo in the end :mad:

jaybee · 31 Jul 2011 at 09:11

Bringtherain, have you taken eveything out of the case and built it all up on a table without using the new case at all? i.e. Skeleton build with minimum components?

BringTheRain · 31 Jul 2011 at 09:12

I am guessing it's the mobo.

But what are the chances the ram,SSD and GPU are dead as well?

What ever I have done. Would it kill the those as well?

How are you powering it up?

SeraphX · 31 Jul 2011 at 09:14

put a wanted ad in the MM Rain, someone should have an old socket 775 board laying about for not much money, failing that
you can pick up a brand new one for 36 quid > http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-344-GI&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1490

use it for testing to see if it is your mobo

highly unlikely, all those three not a chance, i'd put money on the mobo,

BringTheRain · 31 Jul 2011 at 09:16

Ideally I need someone from OCUK to come am have a look and I can pay them (not in kind) it wouldnt be a lot lol. Just to cover fuel and a drink

And then I would pay them more later on down the line (sept)

I'm in bedfordshire

HELP ME OCUK

tankskun · 31 Jul 2011 at 09:17

ram,SSD and GPU will be fine (90+%). Just get a replacement/similar mobo and you'll be good to go! Shame I used to live in dunstable or I would have helped you out.
