I built a computer last week and am having a weird problem with it. When i turn it on the lights turn on but it wont show anything on the screen. The cd drive wont open and the hard drive has nothing going on. This is the 2nd main board i have installed. It was doing the same thing with the 1st one. When i installed the 2nd one it worked for a day. I unplugged it to take it to my parents house and now it wont work. It doesnt beep or turn the harddrive or even load up into the bios or anything. Anyone have any ideas on what it could be?? Can the videocard be frying the mainboard??
Here are the specs on the computer:
POWMAX matrix case 450w
ASUS P4S800 Mainboard
Celeron D 2.93 ghz processor
NVIDIA GeFORCE MX4000 AGP 8X video 128 megs (airforce)
256 megs DDR
120gb WD ide hard drive
52x samsung cd
pci sound card
I have taken the computer to a shop and they said everything was right both times I put it together. An aquantance in charge of maintenance at Pfizer campus ( he takes care of 1800 comps)said it was the mobo dead the 1st time. I dont want to bother him again just because we arent great friends and I feel rude asking for help. I was also wondering if maybe the power supply could be doing this to the computer. The mainboard light still turns on. It is driving me nuts. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!!!!
