Right to cut a long story short i bought a joblot of towers and flatscreens
All the falstscreens worked and all but 2 of the towers worked.
I booted Tower 1: started xp, was running fine so i went for a shut down to prep it for wiping the hard drive and installing windows 7
System specs:
msi agp gpu
2gb ddr1 (tested in a dell and all seemed working)
pentium 4 Hyper threading (3.ghz i think)
After it shut down it just would not turn on again. The fans would spin up and everything has been tested fine (exept the motherboard and cpu)
Initially i thought it was just a bad motherboard problem
so i ran it out of the case with the same problem
i decided it was probably best to test each parts just to make sure it was the motherboard
All parts tested fine (never tested the cpu)
but i find what's weird is the fact it was running perfectly and then just didnt turn on after the shut down and on the motherboard there are no blown mosphets or caps (tested with a multi meter)
Problem with tower 2
Spec:
p4 Hyper threading
512mb ram
2x 160gb hdd's
So on the first power on i got no display yet i could hear it booting to windows, so after testing the parts in a different pc and a complete rebuild i got the pc working, started installing windows 7 and after the first windows 7 pc restart the pc would do the same and power on but with no display (not the gpu as its tested fine)
Pc tower 3
at first it had the same symptoms as pc 2, then this morning i turned it on and with a quick mess about it was running fine again
after i started installing windows on the first restart in the windows 7 installation it refused to power back on
now all 3 pc's have the same symptoms, and i have no clue what's wrong with them... its driving me bonkers, and input would be helpfull, Thanks, Zac
