Sorry if this is not the correct board to post in. Awhile ago, I posted a thread for my old build, saying that one day it randomly cut power and would not turn back on. Eventually, I replaced my PSU, nothing. So, I got a new CPU and motherboard. It was time for an upgrade anyway. That takes us...

Just did that, the mobo doesn't turn on with nothing in it.

Nothing. It just sat there like it always does. My replacement is an EVGA 500w. I'm not entirely sure what the model number is, it should be something like 100-W1-0500.

So I got my replacement today. I think the PSU took out the Mobo. I plugged everything in a few times and only once the power light turned on, and then went away. So I'm assuming the mobo died along with it. Is there anything else to try?

Thanks everyone. I do believe it is the PSU. No burn marks, nothing like that. I'm praying its the culprit, as many suggested. I was just in contact with EVGA and am getting a replacement, so hopefully that settles it. It might be a day or two before I get it. Unfortunatly I do not have another...

Hello, I tried to make my chromebook into a Linux machine - but I fear that will not happen. I went through the entire process of removing the keyboard etc, and finally moved the switch. However, upon pressing the power button......nothing. Nothing with just the battery, nothing with just AC...

Hi everyone, I just upgraded my mothers HP Pavilion a1310y to Windows 7 Pro. It is working fine except for what I believe to be the drivers. The audio is not working, and the screen does the thing where everything is bigger and looks like it needs an upgrade. On the HP website and in HP support...

I was doing something wrong, and now its working! I was installing 7 on the HDD on MY computer, because I didn't think the BIOS would see the usb and boot from it, but it did. So I installed it from that computer. Lo and behold, it is up and running! I just have to get the drivers, haha. (Does...
