I've been having a problem lately where my computer powers on, everything comes on (fans, lights, LEDs, etc.), but there is no video display and no POST, to include no "beep" to indicate that the BIOS is loading.
I have searched the forums for a long time and seen this problem over and over with other people.....but there is never any solution (so far as I've seen). I simply searched under "beep" and "boot" and saw lots of people experiencing it. None of the posts results in a solution.
My MOBO manual says that one beep indicates that the BIOS is loading, but says nothing else (its an ASUS K8N-E Deluxe). So, I'm assuming that since I hear no beep, cannot even enter the BIOS or see a MOBO splash screen, the BIOS isn't loading. The consensus on other posts is that 1) it's the PSU, or 2) it's the GPU, but I have to think it's the MOBO. Seems strange that everything would power up, yet the PSU isn't putting out enough power to boot the BIOS??? BTW, changed out video cards and tried a brand new one with my system and no change....also reseated and reconnected everything and reset CMOS with no change. Also tried booting without the RAM installed and still...no beep, no nothing, but everything powers on. This computer has been working fine for almost a year now so things WERE fine until about 2 days ago.
Can I get a set of opinions on this? MOBO or PSU? or something I haven't thought of?
Thanks in advance!
