*Warning: This is a long and winding story, read at your own risk*
Okay, about 7 month's ago, I had a problem on my MoBo when it simply wont sound a POST code, or anything else. Fan's spin, and that's just about it.
I called Gigabyte (Mobo Manufacturer) and they replaced my mobo with a "Certified" refurbished one. Worked fine, until about 10 minutes!
Called them, went over the same replacement process with another "Certified" refurb. Took forever, but once I got it, worked fine. No problem's until about a week ago. Same exact symptom's. I called Gigabyte (Again), they told me it might be my CPU so I head over to my local computer shop and buy a new CPU and Mobo for good measure. Put in new Mobo with old CPU, nada. New CPU with old Mobo, nada. New CPU and new Mobo...Drum Roll....Nada. Another symptom came up whilst testiing with the new Mobo, not nuff power to system. Fan's woud spin for a few seconds and than dead. This is without any IDE drives or my AGP vid card. So, with logical reasoning, I bought a new PSU. SAME EXACT THING. It then came to me that it might be my On/Off Switch on my case, so I bought a new switch and ordered a new case while I was at it. The dead fan thing stopped, but still no POST beep or display on monitor. The new case came in today, so I put it together in the new one, but still nothing. I ordered a new Vid Card from XFX and should be getting that soon. So, everything has been replaced excpet for my RAM...
One time I put it in the wrong way, so the DDR slot was all burned up, but I put it the right way after and it worked (Btw, this is before this whole drama).
I need expert help, all my vital job work is done on that PC so I cant wait!!
Thank's in advance for soothing my woes
