I built a rig for my brother-in-law in December of 2006. It has a Biostar TForce965PT mobo and an E6300 C2D chip. He called me this evening and told me that it is no longer POSTing. He turns it on and fans run, HDDs spin up, but no signal goes to the monitor and there is no beep code. I've walked him through a CMOS memory reset, but that did not help. According to the manual, the LED status lights indicate a "VGA error", and he plans to test out a different video card later this evening. However, I don't have much hope that it will solve the problem.
I had him remove all but one stick of RAM and the CPU, and there was still no beep code when powered on. I also told him to reseat the video card, but it did not help.
Any other suggestions for me?
Here are the specs:
Intel E6300
Biostar TForce965PT
2GB GSkill DDR2 800
BFG 7950GT 512MB
WD 250GB SATA
Enhance ENP-5150GH PSU (was recommended by several members here)
