Hi all,
I'm new to these forums so not sure if this is the right place but...
I've got a computer built using the motherboard and CPU from an acer aspire T650-8B7E, and various parts from everywhere else.
The problem is that it wont POST. Pressing the on button causes the CPU and system fan to spin as well as the hard drive, the lights on the keyboard flash briefly but there is no output to the screen. If I then power off the machine and then try and power on, the fans spin for 0.5 secs and then nothing. I have to unplug the mains cable and then try and power on. Also if I leave the machine with the cable plugged in it will randomly start every 5 mins or so, but still no POST.
Really not sure what to do, I've tried with a variety of RAM cards with no difference, as well as trying the on-board graphics and an ATI saphire HD 3650. The only thing of note is when I try the ATI card then fan attached to it doesn't spin. If anyone has got any ideas they would be much appreciated
Thanks!
