wont boot

iisollie

I installed a new CPU in a system but now it wont boot ... no beeps of any description. I can hear the HD spinning but no beeps or signal to the monitor.
I have replaced Video card .. just in case that was the cause.

Checked CPU in another system and its working ok, then i replaced the original CPU in the broke system but still no sounds or video signal

anyone got a solution for me ?

At a guess your MB may be fu5ked:dunno:, clear the old CMOS strip the whole thing down and rebuild not inside a case see if you can get it working on a table/flat surface(easy to work on) first. If it still wont work I'd say try the another MB with all those components and it they all work in the different MB, then its the cause. If its new just RMA it.

did everything you suggested but no good.

Looks like it is dead

thanks for the advice anyway

something small but make sure nothing is touching off/shorting the motherboard.

Once had a small porblem of an ide cable touching off the motherboard casuing it not to boot. Moved cable, machine booted. Worth a try.

Your mobo might not support the spec of cpu your putting in also. Retarded solution, but sometimes its something simple like that. Check whats the higest speed cpu your board can support.

thanks for the advice - i have elimintated the possibility of a short by taking it out and replacing and then even setting it up outside of the case.

Its not the CPU either as now the original CPU wont work in it (but will in another PC)
