Okay here is my situation:
I began rebuilding my computer from the ground up. I purchased a new PSU, GPU, CPU, Motherboard, and RAM.
The only things I kept were the case, my HDD, and my DVD-RW rom.
Here are the specs:
MB: Abit IP35-E
PSU: Orion 585 W
GPU: ATI Radeon 4850 512 Mb
CPU: Intel E8200 Core 2 Duo
Ram: Kingston 2 Gb 800 Mhz
So I proceeded to install everything (had a little issue with the front panel connections not working), got it to run correctly, looked at the bios and realized I didn't back up my HDD. So I went to ask my friend in the next room (Frat House) if I could use his PC to back up my main files and wipe my HDD. I then came back and turned off the PSU switch and unplugged the front panel connection because I thought I improperly installed the LEDs. I proceeded to plug them back in, turn on the switch, press the power button......nothing. I was completely confused, so I took it to my friend who owns his own computer shop. He looked at everything, tested my PSU, Vid card, CPU....everything. The Motherboard is fried he told me. I asked him how he knew. He said..."Well, everything works properly except for the motherboard itself and also, some of the nodes are a little puffy rather than flat which could of been caused by an electrical shock." I looked, noticed a little puffiness (which I have seen in working motherboards), and decided it had to be that. But recently I took my memory out and tried the beeping test, and it reads everything.....I already ordered a new MB, but I was just wondering what you guys think about the situation. Could it be my front panel connections?
