2 nights ago, computer shut down, wouldn't restart. Immediately I thought PSU, since I was getting random restarts the last few days and random shutoffs. So went out and got a new one (500 watt)
Then once it was installed, I hit the power button, and all the fans/drives etc, come on and sound perfectly normal. However, it will not post, or do anything else. So, since putting in the new PSU, I have;
1. Removed all memory and replaced it with memory I tested.
2. Tried new HD
3. New IDE cables
4. Returned the PSU, just in case and got a replacement
5. Swapped processors
6. Swapped Video cards
7. Swapped Heatsink
8. Removed CMOS battery/flashed BIOS
9. Changed processor jumpers to SAFE
I also have an extra motherboard, which is the same as mine, and the SAME thing happens regardless of what I have hooked up into it.
D-Bracket codes- Top 2 Red, Top 2 Green - IDE Controller Initializing
Internally, everything sounds completely normal. I tested my old parts, they all work in my wifes computer. So it's a weird problem.
K7N2 Delta
Kingston 1 gig PC-3200 (x3)
Nvidia 6600
Barton 2700+ Athlon XP
476 Peak Load PSU
80 Gig WD HD
I really can't think of ANYTHING else, I do know computers, researched on MSI and anywhere else, and still nothing...
So summary: Hit Power button, Fans/HD etc. all start up like normal, nothing on monitor/no post.
