Bad PSU or Mobo?

OBLIVIONLORD · Jul 15, 2009

Im having a crazy issue with my HTPC system. It turns on but it doesn't post.

I never had a PSU go bad on me so I really don't know of any signs to look for except for the obvious where it just won't power up at all.

I'm thinking that the issue is more of a mobo problem than a psu, but I thought I would ask just to be sure?

The mobo is a M2A-VM which has its own video port. I used a second videocard which I know works and both ways do not show any picture.

Any help would help me out thanks

I'd try another power supply way before you assume its the motherboard. Have you tried clearing CMOS?

When you mean doesnt post do you mean nothing shows on the screen but everything in the computer is running? If thats the case it might be the graphics card or ram.

His post said he tried the onboard and a known good videocard

Good excuse to move to a 780G or nvidia based board
