PC will not boot. I think it's the mobo...

[thundacat]

My PC will not boot, as in I get NO video on the screen whatsoever. I'm getting an error 'd0' on the motherboard's LED. Motherboard model is a Soltek 865PRO2-FGR.

I've swapped out all the internal components save the power supply (because I don't have a spare) and get the same problem. Unfortunately, I can't email Soltek as they are no longer providing support (or motherboards).

I've searched for countless hours online and haven't been able to turn up anything. I imagine testing the power supply will pretty much tell me where the problem lies...but again, I don't have a spare...so...

Does anyone know offhand what 'd0' means? I know you can find out by looking on the mobo's manual but unfortunately I don't have mine anymore....and the section where you'd find is not (you guessed it) on the Soltek site either. I'd really if at all possible like to not have to buy another mobo but it's not looking good....

Thanks to any and all that help.

First post...Welcome.
You must try a spare PSU. Borrow a friends, if you must.
If your PSU is an Antec SmartPower or TruePower, open it up and find failing Fuhjyyu capacitors.

You love that site don't ya Gal? lol. Good site though.

To the op. If your system is turning on but not posting...you may be in the same situation i'm in now. I tried everything INCLUDING a new ps. Turns out my mobo is fried and is actually on it's way back to Asus now. I took out all the memory and turned it on expecting to get a bunch of beeps. I got nothing which points to a dead mobo.
