Hi there.
My system was working fine yesterday, I was using it with no issues. The computer remains on all day, it is plugged in to a UPS.
Suddenly today the computer is not working. Here are the symptoms:
- Computer seemed like it was running, the fans and HDs were spinning.
- When I flipped on the the screen it stayed blank, monitor light stays orange (instead of green) as if not connected.
- The keyboard and optical mouse are not lighting up.
- I can't TS to the machine from my laptop either.
- The router DHCP is not showing that the computer has grabbed any IP address.
Here is the troubleshooting I've done so far:
- I hooked up the monitor to another machine, its working.
- I hooked up the keyboard/mouse to another machine, its working.
- I unplugged all storage devices from Power and Sata, still not POST'ing.
- I removed the memory from the machine, mobo beeps indicating missing RAM.
- I tested the voltage on an arbitrary molex connector, I am getting 12V and 5V although I'm not sure if this is a good test of the PS (probably not)
I don't have any extra DDR2 to test, and my other power supply doesn't have the CPU connector plug, so I would have to buy/borrow those to test. The video card I have will not work, its the old 8-bit AGP I think. I hope its not the CPU or mobo.
Any help is appreciated to help me solve this riddle.
