Hey guys, me Warren again.
Anyway, ive had this comp I built for the last 2 years and nothing has ever gone wrong with it... So this morning I wake up and go to boot up and it fires for a sec then dies. So im there like "hmmmm... *sigh*". Fastforward about 10 hours and Im here trying to figure out what is the problem. I check the psu with a multimeter and it shows a signal (my dad's meter is really old and i couldnt figure out wtf it was measuring, but it was high, on the power molex I got 15 something on the 3.3v and like 125+ on the 12v). So im typing this at 10:29 now, still confused, I mean ive torn out everything, dusted and cleaned it to the core, and no matter how I do this method of deduction (just mb, cpu, etc.) its still just starting for 1 sec then dying. The mb LED is on, but still no dice . Ya ive checked the power (its 115), connections, idk wat to do. So ya fellas, counting on you guys now to help me . Crossing my fingers its not a short or something, but its starting to look like that.
as always TY fellas
