Computer wouldn't boot yesterday morning. No beep, no post...nothing.
It has been extremely slow loading Windows lately. I have a back up system and that booted fine, until now, so I thought maybe windows was corrupt somehow. The night before last it froze up with the screen saver going so I had to do a hard shut down
The board is out of case sitting on cardboard with no metal contact. I have the power switch connected at the header, otherwise the board is isolated from the case. Speaker is connected to board but not the case.
The 120mm pwm case fans and 120mm pwm CPU fan spin, attached a different cooler with a non-pwm 90mm cpu fan and and it spun then quit while the case fan continued. Reconnected the 120mm PWM fan and it stays on.
Video and sound cards are removed.
No hard drives connected.
Tried a good back up 650W PSU I keep for just this sort of thing and have same results. Checked the line voltage with a digital meter and an Antec PSU tester that puts a load on the psu, (checked both PSUs). Connected power to a different outlet
Tried with no ram to just one stick and still nothing. No warning beeps or anything.
Connected the monitor directly to the hdmi on back panel and had no power to monitor from board.
I don't have a back up AM3 cpu or board to test on so I can't narrow it down any more. I have an old Phenom 2 but it doesn't fit.
I would like to salvage something for a second system in an old case.
Any ideas?
