Andy P Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Ok, I'm building a PC for a family friend and have run into a problem. I power it on and I have a power light, the HDD spins up, the cpu fan spins, and a light on the GFX card comes on...and thats it. No power to the DVD-rw, no "beep", the monitor stays on standby. I try to eliminate problems, take out each memory stick in turn, nothing Switch the GFX card to one that I know works, nothing. Disconnect the DVD drive and IDE, nothing. Then tried the power on the DVD drive but no IDE and I get power to the drive.... :lol: I have a feeling that the mobo is retarded but haven't got one that I can replace it with to test. Spec as follows. 3.2ghz P4 1mb cache 800fsb. Gigabyte P4 titan series (GA-8IPE1000-G) mobo 2x 512mb ddr 3200 unbuffered radeon 9550 maxtor diamondmax10 300gb 16mb cache sata hdd panasonic dvd-rw Suggestions anyone???

Tomm Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Yeah, I would guess mobo. Check all the connections and make sure it's not shorting out on the case or something silly like that. Apart from that I dunno. eDIT: Ok haha. What did you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy P Posted June 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Its not what I did do, its what I didn't do....bloody extra power cable for P4's :rolleyes: Anyhow, I'm still going to have to get a new motherboard now....one problem after another and big blue sparks spell trouble... :D Andy P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
