@1LiquidPC Thanks for your help on this, I'm not sure what really happened but after reading your last post I went out and unplugged the second hdd and the dvd player keyboard and mouse, turned it on and waited for 7 minutes. Seen it was not working, then realized I had the old cpu in, I...

@1LiquidPC Lesson learned I think, don't mess with computers when its late and you had a long day. So I got the new mobo in, installed it with no problem, got everything connected. Now the computer turns on stays on but no display no beeps or anything, I can hear the hard drive and the dvd...

Yes replaced the CPU with the exact same model and all. I can not see any display on the monitor to see the bios, nothing shows up on the screen. So it looks like I will be changing the Mother Board.

@1LiquidPC Update: Got the new CPU in today changed it over added the heat sink and fan. Still same results. Long beeps no display or anything. Computer runs you can hear the hard drive spinning as normal and all fans come on. Still nothing.

I will be ordering a new one to see what happens. I will update once I get it in.

With our being able to get into BIOS to tell what the temp is set for I am not able to tell if its getting to hot to shut down or anything. As it may turn on for 2-3 seconds, or it may turn on for several minutes but no display on anything other than just a long beep . So I'm wondering if...

I have not been able to figure anything our on this computer yet. The CPU is an AMD FX-Series FX-4300 3.8 GHz 4 MB Cache Quad-Core CPU Processor FD4300WMW4MHK Socket AM3+ From what I am finding out, I am starting to believe it is the cpu that has overheated. But correct me if I'm wrong...

Here is a picture of the inside of the tower. On the right side you can see the 2 fans pulling air in and on the left there is 1 fan pushing the air out. When they dropped the computer off I said I see right now what is wrong with it. It does not have a cooling fan or anything on the CPU. When I...

Odd thing about this one is it does not have a cooling fan or anything to cool the CPU. It worked fine for 3 years then just started the powering off at random times. Changed the PSU and now it powers on but may be only for 2-3 seconds or it may stay on for over 5 minutes, yet I get no display...

I have a custom built computer MOBO is a Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3. All the sudden the computer just shut down. It would no longer load anything. It would turn on for a few seconds then right back off. I replaced the PSU and it worked for a couple of days, then started the same thing would not stay...

I have a computer that is a 32-bit. I also have a CPU from another computer that is a 64-bit that is the same socket. I like the mobo from the 32-bit computer due to the number of hard drives that can be connected. If I put the 64-bit CPU into the 32-bit mobo will this make the computer a...

When I press the power button after a few seconds I can hear the fan turn on, then the fan turns off, and back on, and back off. It continues this and never boots. Nothing displays on the screen. I have reseated the memory card and still did not help.

How about upgrading to a windows 8 or something else?

The CPU can be removed, I did check that part out before I started looking around on the internet about this. The Laptop is a Gate way MX 6453.
