Hello All,
I'm hoping someone can help me debug my PC. The other day I woke up and my PC was off and would not turn on. I assumed the PSU had failed, so I ordered a new one. It came today, but before I installed it, I plugged the PC into another outlet just as a sanity check. This time it would power up, fans spun, and the mobo power light was on. However, it still wouldnt boot or even post. No beeps or anything. Also, I dont know if this has anything to do with it or not, but the video card fan was making a wooshing sound as if it was slowing down and speeding up in a periodic manner. Finally, the case lights were all blinking on and off at the same time (HDD light, power light, and the two LEDs on my card reader (i.e. SD, CF, etc)).
I went ahead and installed the new PSU, and its still acting the same. I dont know where to go from here in terms of debugging... Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help!
