PC Chips motherboard
I need help.. this is very puzzling to say the least. In 2002
I bought and put together a computer using a PC Chips motherboard M830 series socket A and a AMD 2000+ with 256 meg of Ram and 80Gig HD.Everything worked fine till last May 2004. I took it to a computer service and after they tried to fix the computer (which they gave up on) they told me that I needed a new other board. The service tech said he could not get the OS to work and he indicated that a component in the motherboard had shorted and that I needed a new motherboard. I proceeded to order a replacement Motherboard from Newegg. I received the new motherboard (from Newegg) PC Chips Socket A M848A series and installed it in the computer. I had no problem installing the new motherboard and the old CPU (2000+ AMD). I turned on the computer and nothing happened. no power to anything. No fans no lights nothing. I retraced everything and found nothing wrong. I took it as a defective motherboard and sent it back to NewEgg for exchange. 10 days later got a replacement motherboard. I installed it as I did above and turned on the power. Again nothing happened. The entire unit was dead.. I proceeded to re-install the old motherboard and turned on the power switch. Voila everything worked, fans, HD and lights. So I took it as another defective board. Sent it back to NewEgg for replacement got another board in 10 days and installed it again. Turned on the power switch nothing worked. I then left for Iraq and just returned and I am back at this computer.What is wrong??? Please help. thanks |
