Baz_ Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Hi guys, been helping a client with a pc Issue, They have an Asus p8h61-m Pro motherboard with a Celeron g530 2.4ghz. Anyway, Was asked to go around to day find out why it wasnt booting up. the comp switches on, Power to Drives CPU fan , but nothing to Monitor , Keyboard and mouse dont light up, Also there is no speaker on the board so no beeps I have removed all non essential hardware, reset cpu, rest ram tried 1 stick at a time, CMOS reset and got nothing else from the fans coming on. Could this be a Motherboard issue or CPU, personally im thinking motherboard but wanted a second opnion.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manifesto Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I believe its either power supply or motherboard. Jose_49 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leesmithg Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I had this myself once, it was a video card that had died. I suggest trying a video card, anyone that works and fits a slow will do. Usually I only get beeps after display of devices screen then intermediately before windows logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Warwagon MVC Posted February 13, 2014 MVC Share Posted February 13, 2014 Try a different power supply and also check the motherboard for swollen capacitors. Jose_49 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo003 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Motherboard for sure but do as warwagon said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krome Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 If there's no post but you can see it power up, try swapping the CPU. Many times already, based on my experience, it's the dead CPU or not properly seated CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John.D Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Did it work before?? Looks like 0602 of the BIOS needs to be on it to support that CPU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-T- Member Posted February 13, 2014 Member Share Posted February 13, 2014 Had a similar issue, it was the CPU at fault. If possible test with another. I've also had a dead PSU exhibit the same symptoms. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahoospa Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 It sounds like it could be the motherboard or the power supply. This was a common problem with some machines that I repaired, especially older eMachines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted February 13, 2014 Veteran Share Posted February 13, 2014 1. Is the video connected to the system board or a dedicated video card? 2. If it is connected to the System board, on the monitor do you get a no signal error or does it think there is a computer connected? If it is connected to the system board and the monitor says No signal it IS the system board 3. If it is connected to the system board and the monitor has signal than check the PSU 4. If it is connected to a video card connect it to the system board and remove the Video card and try again. As far as keyboard and mouse go. I am assuming USB, try different ports. still nothing. Sounds like either the PSU or the System Board. Jake Lee 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xendrome Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I had this myself once, it was a video card that had died. Motherboard has on-board video, so that should be easy to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ_ Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Check to see if the HSF is connected and the motherboard CPU socket for bent pins, if there are any, be very careful when trying to straighten them out. I have removed all non essential hardware Does that include the gfx card? I once had a PC which wouldn't POST until I removed the gfx card.

jren207 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 You said you get no beeps because there is no speaker, but does your board flash the power LED on your case in a sequence? (e.g. solid light, flash on/off three times, solid light, repeat... etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hum Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I've solved 'dead' motherboard problems by replacing the CMOS battery. Your motherboard may be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
