So, a few days ago I clicked "Sleep" in Vista by accident. The PC obediently complied and went to sleep mode. I clicked almost immediately after to wake it up. Instead, my PC kept restarting.
The PSU had died – so I got a new one. Now when I start the PC I get no POST screen. Fans and drives spin up, but it’s just the CPU (e8400) led on the MB (GB EP45S-DS4P) that flashes once, and then there’s a faint click noise (doesn’t sound like the normal beeps from the PC speaker). Then it repeats.
I inspected the components and there’s no visible damage. Can anyone please give me any suggestions? Is there a way to make certain if the MB or the CPU is the culprit, short of trying the processor in another machine?
