MB dead

ES60 · Dec 2, 2006

I got two computers that used to work great, and suddenly died.
The cpu fan is one, the green light on the MB is on and that it.

I removed everything execpt the CPU, replaced PSU, cleared CMOS, and still nothing.

no beeps. just dead.

Any idea?
Why?

Any indication of power to Mobo? Fans spinning ,anything, did u install Memory? Did you use the PSU from the other dead computer, did you check the PSU first? SYSTEM SPECS?

PSU is ok (checked on another computer).
CPU fan working.
Memory is OK (checked on another comuter).
Cmos battery is ok (checked on another computer).
Hard drive, CD and floppy disconneced.

MB is ECS P4S5A/DX+.

Perhaps the graphics card is broken?

Dead GPU or dead HDD can bring a whole system down. Strip everything out and see if you can boot to BIOS config. If not, then possibly the non-volatile memory is screwing the BIOS. Pull the battary for a few seconds, then try again.
