Well.. my computer's been on ever since I got the mobo and psu replaced.. and I finally decided to clean all the dust out today (1 year). Finish cleaning, plug back in, vala! No post.
All the fans are running, I can hear the hard drives spinning and stuff and the LED on the tracers are on.. but it just stays on without any images on my monitor.
- I took out the video card, and reseated it. No go.
- Took out all but 1 ram stick. No go
- Took out all ram. No error beep.
- Took out video card and ram. No error beep.
- Discounted all but 1 hard drive. Nothing.
- Cleared CMOS. Nothing. Removed and reinserted battery. Nothing
- Tried a different monitor. With both d-sub and dvi. Nothing
- Tested the PSU with my dell. Works fine.
After all that.. I thought maybe it's the mobo.. since this IS the mobo that's been rma'ed 4 times..
So, I pulled out my backup ep35-ds3r. Assembled everything back.
CPU, 1 RAM, video card, 1 hard drive.
BAM. Still nothing..
At least with the ds3r, my mouse turned on but still no beep or anything on my monitor.
I've absolutely ran out of ideas... I'm just hoping it isn't the PSU, since I just got this like.. last year. I absolutely don't want to deal with ASUS again on this motherboard.. rma'ed it 3 times to have them send me the same board. And a different one on the 4th. And I absolutely don't have money to shell out for anything new.. ;_;
Specs are..
E8400
Asus P5K-E / Gigabyte EP35-DS3R
4gb Crucial Ballistix 1066
XFX 8800GT
Xigmatek 750w PSU
3 SATA hdds
