i have read the sticky above, but i want some more professional opinions to make sure the problem s determined.
The computer that i have seems to turn on but it doesent appear to boot. The monitor stays off (orange light), the fans and the harddrives are spinning, The lights on te keyboard blink like they usually do. The computer does not appear to have a POST sound signal I wanted to isolate the problem so i disconnected all the harddrives and cd drives and any other unnseseseary components. It still didn't boot, but the same occured as the previous. I have suspected that the problm was a power supply since it was way too weak for the system. (200 watts). I tried several different power supplies. all of them (400 w,200 w and a 220 w) came to the same result although i did manage to start it up 2 times and with all the drives disconnected it went back into its blank screen mode without finishing the startup. This occured on the 400 w PSU and the 200W psu. I reset the cmos replaced the battery. From all this i assume it is the fault of the motherboard. or the cpu. finally i triedapplyig different cpu's to the computer (but they fried )
i also tried multiple monitors and powe cords recieveng the same result.
did i miss any steps?
its the motherboard isn't it?
