nartac Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 My computer was running fine yesterday. Today after getting home from work, I turn on my computer but it won't post. there is power but the computer won't give me the usual "beep" prior to booting. Anyone have any idea what is going on?

ramesees Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Checked all your hardware? Maybe your RAM has failed, or your mobo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dessimat0r Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 I had this too Tell me your motherboard type Btw, touch each chip on the motherboard once the PC has been on for a min, and see if any are super hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AOXOMOXOA Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 try reseating your cards and ram (pull it out and stick it back in) try a different powersupply if you can. or a different videocard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dessimat0r Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 such things would generate a POST beep if they wern't inserted properly.. this is a processor or motherboard problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any idea what is going on? to you knowledge was there a power surge or failure while you were at work? if so then the chip or mobo could have fried.

sailgreg Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Lots of can go wrong, try reinserting the ram and cpu. Did you build the computer or did you buy it from Dell or IBM or somthing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the quick responses. My computer was build by myself with the listed item below. I agree with Dessimator. I think it might be the CPU. Unfortunately I don't have another CPU to test out this theory :( . Boo Hoo Hoo. Got to use my wife's computer which is way too slooooow for me :) I will purchase a new board to replace my Abit and see. If that doesn't work, then new processor for me.

Dessimat0r Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 It's an Abit?! What make? There could be a faulty chip on all Abit AT7 Max boards, you see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got Abit KR7A-133 as I have stated on my signature. I just purchased an Asus A7V333 yesterday and will see if that is the problem. Hopefully that will solve the problem.
