Bad power supply or dead mobo/cpu ?

External Since: Apr 15, 2004 Posts: 1

I have a MSI KT6V mobo and AMD 2500+ Barton cpu with 512 of dimm. I
also have 4 ide hard drives and a DVD-R/+R burner and DVD Rom drive.
My powersupply is an Enermax 450...

Yesterday when I turned my computer on I got the green power light on
the case but the computer did not bootup.

Thinking it maybe in suspend mode I unplugged the powercord from the
wall and left it off for an hour (I was watching NHL playoffs at the
time)...

I then replugged the cord for the powersupply back into the wall and
still the same thing. The case's green power light comes on but no
powerup, no hard drives spinning, no bios details, no fans turning...

I took out all my pci cards and unhooked all ide devices and the same
thing....

Dead powersupply...???

First, pull the AC power, pop out the battery, and in about 5 seconds
the factory default CMOS Setup will be back, then put the CMOS battery
back in, power up, and if it comes up, re attach all the goodies, but,
be sure to go in and setup your cpu speed and voltages, first!

If it does NOT come up, and you get NO beep codes... try a different
psu. If a known good psu doesn't power it up, you have probably lost
the CPU or the mainboard...
