Hi all,

I've been asked by a mate to take a look at his PC, it's been a while since I've done any hardware troubleshooting and I'm a bit behind,a couple of years behind!

The PC specs (roughly, will get actual specs later)are as follows:

M2N32 WS Pro
4GB RAM (not sure of FSB)
AMD64 6000 (again not 100% sure, will update later)
XFX Nvidia Geforce 8800GTX
XFi Extreme Fidelity Sound Blaster
3 x HDD
1 x Blu Ray RW
1 x Blu Ray reader
1 x DVD RW

PSU Details:

DC Output +3.3 +5 +12v1 +12v2 +12v3 +12v4 -12 +5vsb

Output current 25A 30A 16A 16A 16A 16A 0.8A 3.0A

Max Combined ¦<--170W-->¦ <------------------672W----------------->¦ 9.6W 15
¦<-----------------------------715W---------------------->¦


Personally I think it's the PSU, I have a hunch that 730W just isn't enough to power this system. I suppose it could be the processor.

I unplugged all the optical drives and still no luck, doesn't even get to the POST...no beeps, nothing!

The main problem I have is that I having no compatible parts to swap about to troubleshoot.

If you need any more details let me know.

Thanks.

Edit: I realise there is a dedicated PSU forum, so apologies if this is in the wrong place, but it could be related to other hardware.
