About a week ago I built a new system at work. Antec chassi, Athlon 64 3400+ BOXED and a MSI k8T Neo motherboard.
I had no problems building it and it has worked without problems for the pas week. The temperatures were also fine.
However, today I wanted to use the computer and suddenly nothing is working. Our computers run 24/7 so it has been on for about a week and initially I assumed that it hade problems going out of some power saving mode but even turing it off on the PS does not help.
I opened it up and noticed that whenever I turn on the power on the PS (not on the front, nothing happens when I press the "on" button, or the "reset button) both the CPU fan and the PS fan will start rotating but that is all, nothing else happens, no beeps from the motherboard and no video.
What is wrong? At first I thought it was the processor but why can't I turn the computer on and off using the buttons on the front? And why are both fans rotating? And why no beeps?
Another strange thing is that it seems like the computer just died this weekend, AFAIK no one was even close to the computer when this happened.
Any ideas?
Bad Mobo? Bad processor?
edit: I tried connecting the "D-Bracket", whenever I turn on the PS all four leds starts flashing.
This is not even a "proper" error message (not listed) . I suspect a bad mobo, but why?
