just paid for the ocz one, and at under £60 delivered isnt to bad really. the cheap one turned up today, so am going to send that back.


now fingers crossed, when my zalman power supply went the other night, it didnt take anything else out with it (fingers crossed, touch wood etc)

small update to my problem

i have put the new power supply in. turn on and the mb lights up and fans spin. but then turns off again. and will will keep on doing this.

i have tried it with out any ram in as well, and with no graphics/old graphics card and get the same result.

there are no beeps or any other sounds.

so what do you think is buggered? mother b, processor etc??

thanks

ATX power connector?

Ian

iTrader: (10)

the motherb has a 24 pin, 8 pin and a 4 pin molex one on it.

on my new power supply i have used a 4+4 pin for the 8 pin socket

what one is the ATX please?

dont think i said, but comp was working, and then one day it stopped. no power to it. i changed the power lead fuse, but it tripped the house fuse box.

so ordered a new power supply and now it wont turn on

eagle

ohhhh that don't sound good .. normally if there is an issue with the motherboard they bleep to indicate what might be wrong ..
for it to blow the main house fusebox i think you might have other pc issues now... as for what i wouldnt like to say or guess ...

Ian

i won a second hand motherboard on ebay last night just in case it was needed, and fingers crossed it is the only thing broken :-(

Usually I remove the battery, leave for 24 hours and re-build. It's usually linked to the failure to run through a BIOS startup fully.

HTH

P.S. Check all the pins in all the power connectors for burning, and the board for damage - electrical burning and/or loose parts in the case causing a short.

small update.

i changed the mb over, but it is still the same.

do you think it is the processor? if so, what would you recomend please. stay the same as what i have (e8400) or is there something better?

any other adivce is much welcome

thanks
ian

eagle

ok..
i would unplug everything from the board except the power supply.. all hard drives, optical drives, keyboard, mouse no graphics card just leave the on/off switch connected .. if it then fires up and stays up turn it off and add the memory (one stick at a time if you have more than 1) do the same again, add one part at a time.
might find an issue with something .. i know power supplys turn off if they detect a short out on any of the outlets, but pure guesswork if it does not bleep.

i have another processor on its way to me, hopefully it will be abit quicker and get things working again.

i went for a q6600

Q6600 is great CPU and will be much faster in some application than your previous 8400

i have put the q6600 processor in, but i still have the same problem.

so far i have changed
power supply (new ocz zs 750)
mobo (second hand of ebau)
ram (second hand off ebay)
graphics card, a lod card and current card
processor.

whats next. i get the same error code on the card that is 9.0 abd from what i have seen it is the bios or power supply

eagle

if you have changed the mobo and processor to the ebay ones then there must be something wrong with either the power supply or connections to the mobo.
have you done the plugging things in one by one and trying them ?

jura11

Try put your old GPU(Graphic card) and you will see...

Second thing try download http://www.knoppix.org/ and try if you can boot to the this live OS

What error code you are getting?


Jura

Ian

i think it could be my new power supply.

we tried it in my dads fully working pc. it booted up and then acted like mine does now. we put his old power supply back in, but its not working now.

this is looking like the power supply has buggered up 2 computers.

it is a ocz zs 750. i got it new from dabs

the computer shop said the motherbaord is faulty.

ive said no as i think you can get a better board cheaper
