Daston Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Hi all My pc has gone again! Just helped out my father inlaw and had to use my PSU as his had died. Just put my pc back together but it boots up straight away as soon as the power cable is plugged in however it dosnt post. I have tried all the conections, gfx card, psu and cpu think it may be my motherboard. any advice would be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Supra Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I'm useless with PC's but if it works I won't change it Mine was top spec when i bought it... (April 2003 ) I'd agree with the bios idea though, just set it to default and see if that helps. ^^^ I wrote that as you replied. No idea then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Supra Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 When i've had problems with my pc in the past the advice has been log onto this site, download this... etc... Was like, computer won't go to windows... Go safe mode, Have virus that auto-pop up so can't get on net. I hate computers... watch the Lee Evans sketch about Computers that makes me laugh. Sorry i'm not helping. Does you PC come with any emergency software or default drivers, etc. I've found Norton Go Back priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Won't get that far if it won't post. My thoughts are faulty board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 RIGHT DASTON JUST HAD A WORD WITH MY SON IN LAW he said look in your motherbaord manual find out where the back up battery is (watch battery size) pull it out and try rebooting (maybe its flat) if that dont work look in your manual see if you have bios reset jumper a 3pin connector it should tell you in the manual how to reset the bios you connect the jumper to the other two pins. if that dont work go for a drive in your soop that will cheer you up.

Jake Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Any beeps when you power on? How many? Do the Caps,Num, Scroll Lock lights all flash once at the same time? Disconnect everything non-vital (HDDs, FDDs, CD drives, NIC, etc) reseat GFX card, remove RAM and refit one stick only - or swap for known good. (re)Check front panel connectors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
