    PC dead?

    ok, so it was going one minute then just stopped.
    various clues,,,
    when start button is pressed, nothing.... no cpu fan spin, no vid card fan spin.
    IF I take out the cmos battery and short the pins I get both fans to spin up for ONE second,, but no pretty light around the start button,,
    at some stage I had repeated beeps with no ram or vid card present, so at this stage it was actually running just not posting...
    I have power through the MB to light the mouse and charge my phone--
    so startup wiring must be ok as I do get a spin,,
    just pulled everything of the board, reset battery, one seconf fan spin, no beeps.

    Sounds like it could be the power supply, Have you got another power supply you can use to see if this is the problem?

    It could be the CPU or the motherboard itself.
    Was the computer playing silly buggers at all prior to the crash or did it just spit the dummy all of a sudden?
