ok so about 3 months ago i made a computer, So after i got everything for it, i put it together with a friend who has made hundreds. After we put it together we plugged it in and started it up. Then the damn thing just made a flash in the back and shut down. We thought it was the power supply and got another one turned it on and nothing happend. the on light was red and it appeared to be working but nothing happend it didnt go to bios nothing. Can anyone help me please? system specs Asus K8V-SE DELUXE S754 Motherboard Athlon 64 CPU 3700+ ATI x800 Pro AMD Athlon 64 3400+FSB 1MB L2 Socket 754 CPU NEW w/FAN DDR 1g/400 pc3200
i think that the mother board may have shorted out if u can try to test it to see if it will function with another computer if it isnt the motherboard then i dunno BTW try a different outlet in ur house ur hosue wiring maybee srewy or shorted the motherboard
ok so i plugged it in to another outlet and it started up for a a second and made the heatsin fan twitch, also the tower light blinked and it made a crackly noise before shuting down. i did this a few times, what do you think rudsta816.
@ skaterham When you turn the power on I want you to look at the processor fan and see if it comes on. Also hold your hand behind the computer to make sure that your power supply is coming on properly. If your fans are working then check each connection on the motherboard to insure that they are connected firmly, this includes your memory. Unplug all of your PCI, ISA (if you have any), and graphics cards from the computer. If your graphics card is the only card you have to view the monitor with, don't worry. Try to start your machine again. Note: Make sure the computer is unplugged and that you are static free before touching any components. You have to be careful when messing with electronic equipment. Post back with your results
yea the fans both twitched and the whole thing made a crackling noise. I was longer and stuff but yea after a few seconds it gave up.
If I am reading this correct, then it may not be the MBoard. Well, let me rephrase that, It might have started with a faulty PS. Now you might need both a new MBoard, processor, and PS. Because it sounds like you overheated your system.
damn that sucks lol oh well i guess i could see if my friend has one i could use. is there a way it could have shorted my x 800 pro?
There is not any telling without testing. Try replacing the power supply first. You can find a decent one for 30 to 50 bucks. Just make sure to watch your CPU Fan to make sure it is operating. See if that works before you go any further. You may have blown the whole system.
yea i have a new one and the fan only twitches a bit. nothing fully turns on it gets like a small surge
