I have a pentium 4, 3.2 ghz w/ ht on an msi board.
My problem is when I try to turn it on, it will turn on for a second
then turn right off, and there is usually a sound (hard to explain.
Anywho, in my diagnosing efforts, I've come to the conclusion that the
12v 4 pin connectior on the motherboard (right next to the processor
is what is causing the issue. When I unplug it, the computer will start
fine, but I will get nothing on the monitor (with my gfx card, and with
onboard.)
MY QUESTION IS, COULD THIS BE CAUSED BY A BAD MOTHERBOARD? OR HOW CAN
GET MY COMPUTER RUNNING AGAIN
thanks
cliffs: pc wont stay on, stays on (but no monitor) when 12v 4 pi
