PC will just not boot up at all

describe the beeps ....

and go to bios and configure it in such that it gives warning tones incase of fan failure or other hardware failures ...

there are no beeps and yes i do have an internal speaker.
I cant get into bios the output is blank blackness lol.

if u have another system , you can try the equipment in that system one by one ....
easierly then identifying any burnt component .
suppose two components are damage , the CMOS and RAM ... when replace them with new items one by one , you wont get to know the damage one . the first time you replaced the CMOS and there is a troubled RAM .. second you replaced RAM with troubled CMOS exitence .

Not advisable on several levels.

HTH

what do you mean ?

Suppose there is an electrical problem which is shorting out internally, you plug in a perfectly good piece of equipment and it gets zapped!
OR
The ram in one system is not compatable with the other system.
OR
Licensing issues when changing component parts. Then explaining to MS what you did so you can reactivate the license.

The list goes on from there.

oh now i understand

can this be a m/b failure ?

 

[Prateek777]

i had kind of same problem with my pc!but i didnt replaced every part of it for sure as far as i remember....i touched it here and there and idk wat i did but in the end it started working as it was before it got toasted.
there can be two advice i can give u on this
try to replace SMPS only without changing anything else u had on it previously coz there are boot files stored in the hardware .
try to change the slot of ur ram ..if u have two rams maybe one ram is fried or mayb its slot is broken. exchange the ram slots, remove one ram , etc. I cant think of any other possibilty. Now if u get ur pc right and working do share with us wat made it that way and how u solved it in the end. Thanks.

 

[techno di]

i surfed the net .... is your GPU fine ? did u try to clean it

in net i found to check 3 thing ,, PSU , RAM and m/b

i rememberd now that i had two systems experienced the same problem , and we disposed them as we were told that the m/b is burnt . a third system - laptop - now has those symptoms and right now it is in reparing shop .

the blackness describes no power is going to the system! either SMPS cable is gone or smps itself!

 

[Barman58]

First thing I suggest is to download the manual for your motherboard if you do not have it. then disconnect all components that you do not need (all bar the video and keyboard) power the system and, referring to the manual, check the power status on the motherboard. Most cases have a "soft" power switch and I have seen this problem caused by either a defective switch or related cabling, led's on the M/B should indicate if the power switch is active. It may be a M/B fault but it's another thing to check

but he said : " Inside the case i saw the CPU Led was on red. It has power; fans spinning and hardware running. "

Your post #18
ohh thats weird, i put in my monitors plug into the outlet and i think it caused a power cut
---------------------
This must be investigated farther. After changing all that hardware and still the same problem. The power cut may be the outlet or circuit in the building. Those should be checked by a qualified electrician very soon. I would not use that circuit or outlet until it was. It could be caused by a monitor but I have not known one to do that. If you know the outlets that are not on the circuit plug the computer into one of them or even a friends dwelling. That is why I recommended replacing the power supply cord. It sound like a incoming power supply problem from the wall outlet.
Are you using a surge protector? If not surges from a bad outlet can damage parts as fast as you plug computers into it. Only two things I can think of.
1. You are installing miss match hardware and/or installed wrong.
2. Your power from the wall outlet is not correct.
There/their is no way on this globe that all those parts are bad on one computer at one time.

Omg it just teased me

I replaced my corsair h50 with the standard cpu fan that came with my amd fx cpu and it turned on! but forcing me to go in to bios so i set the date and time and my boot device and made sure asus's auto cpu overclocker was on normal (not High or Power Saving) so i saved and reset now im back to square one same cpu led light is back omgggg

 

[beret21]

once my friend had the same problem (for 50 tries it started only once ) and the cause was faulty motherboard .........
Well i am not sure if that is your case ?????
As told also try the system in an other room as that particular socket might b malfunctioning

I have replaced my motherboard like i said, im in another room at a different socket too

nothing that helps in the manual. What do you mean by soft swith ??

Changing your cpu cooler should of not required resetting bios time, date or boot order. It would be a fine time to replace the Bios battery and then make sure every thing is set to default and time and date are correct. NO over clocking until problem is fixed. Please don't do a lot of things without telling us. It just runs us in circles. We need to know what you do and the results. I have the feeling we are not getting the whole story.

Changing rooms might not of changed the circuit of the outlet. The only way to know for a DIY would be plugging something like a lamp into both sockets, (one in each room) and throw circuits breakers and see if lamps go off and on at the same time. Two rooms could be on the same circuit. It depends on the wiring codes and the person who did the wiring.

 

[Barman58]

The front panel switch on the case that turns the computer on, used to be an actual switch that would make or break the current to the motherboard, some systems still have this type of switch but is now either on the PSU or at the back of the case. Modern front panel switches are now a momentary action switch ( a pulse goes to the motherboard), this press is actioned by the motherboard dependent on it's current state, IE - if off the full power is supplied to the M/B and the system boots, If the system is on and running a signal is sent to the bios, and thus the OS which actions it according to user preference, Switch off, Sleep, Hibernate etc.

I have seen "dead System" faults which are caused by a faulty switch or it's cabling to the motherboard, also there is often a four pin connector from the PSU to the M/B (in addition to the 20 pin connector that is related to this soft switching which maintains a current to the M/B when plugged into power but switched OFF

it may be worth while cleaning the contacts on this and the main PSU/ M/B connectors and ensuring that the switch connections are correct and workng

well i keep trying the jumpers and cmos battery so thats why it asked me to set up bios.

On this sabretooth board it gives me 3 options as i said: power saving mode , normal or high. i chose normal.

i also keep pressing the memok button when replacing ram.. the led for that just flashes at the same speed for ever more... when that switch works; it flashes 2 or 3 times and the cpu led then flashes a few times and it boots lol but thats not happening.

Power looks fine in this room

 

[dannyk90]

pin connectors are fine
