Computer won't start - Help please
Hi Guys,
got a problem. can't get my computer to start. What has happened, few time when I have left my computer running and I have returned to it later, I couldn't wake it up. I either had to soft reboot it or switch it off. It happened again tonight, but it would not reboot, and it would not switch off holding in the off/on switch. I had to switch the power off., but then it would not switch on again. I put a meter on the switch and that was working, so I changed the PSU(a new one I had), but it still would not power up, could the mobo be dead, it is an Epox 9NDA3J. Any help or advice really appreciated. Just one thing I missed, some times when I pressed the on/off button to power up, the power light flashed then nothing happened, I had to switch the power off and wait 10 seconds then switch it on again, to power it up Regards Bob |

But, when you say that it would not power up after the PSU was changed to a new one, we need to know what, EXACTLY, happened when you hit the power switch with the new PSU installed. With the new PSU installed, did you get any LEDs lit? Did you get any beeps coming from the mainboard? What was the POST code displayed on the mainboard? (LED two digit display) Were any fans running? If so, which ones, how long were they running, did they stop running? Could you hear drives spin up? Etc. -Dave |

It sounds like you've developed a thermal fault in the motherboard. Time
for a new motherboard, I'm afraid. -- DaveW ---------------- "BH2" wrote in message ... Hi Guys, got a problem. can't get my computer to start.
