Help Needed - Computer Won't Boot
Hey guys, I could use some help here badly. It all started off when I was dusing the inside of my computer (Just casual stuff) Went to plug everything back in, and went to start it up, but to my surprise it failed. Here is what happens what I power it up:
- No Beeps
- All fans start up, work fine.
- Can't really hear whether or not the HD is spinning
- All Lights and temperature guages work.
- Monitor Light stays on Yellow, and goes into "Power Save Mode"
And heres what I've tried to do to fix it so far:
- Tried replacement HD
- Tried 3 different IDE cables, in every arrangement possible
- Tried only giving power to Heatsink fan and HD
- Tried every arrangement of combinations for plugging different items with different Powersupply cables
While I was cleaning around, I was grounded the entire time, although my thoughts are I must have shorted something. I've been going at this for about 4 hours now, doing some research, trying to find if theres a site out there with similar symptoms. But since this is kinda urgent, I figured it would be ok if I posted before I was completely done googling.
The only things I have left to try, or at least that I can think of are:
- Try the HD in a spare pc
- Try switching processors
- Try switching graphics cards.
inside the box is the following
Western Digital 80gb HD
GA-7VT600 K7 Triton Motherboard (KT600 Series)
GeForce Fx 5200
AMD 2500+ 333FSB
If you guys have even any slight ideas on what to test, feel free to fill me in. Im going to have to wait for my brother to wake up before I can try switching procesors, graphics cards and maybe even memory If I have to. But I'll be checking back every so often to see if anyone's replied.
Thanks in advance for any help.
