Question Computer not posting (died)

[MinecraftW06]

CPU fan starts, HDD spins up, but there is no display. Could it be a problem with the motherboard or the CPU? CPU is heating so I think it's working. There isn't any beep speakers in the computer.
Specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B75M-D2V
CPU: Intel Pentium G2030 LGA 1155 3GHz
RAM: Team Elite 4GB DDR3-1333

Maybe the BIOS is bricked?

What PSU ? Brand, model and power, and age.
Have you access to another PSU ?
No GPU ? Using the Intel® HD Graphics ?
HDD / SSD ?

Hard to tell which component without a testing rig. Shotgunning is the norm. Motherboards have a much higher failure rate than CPU's. I have had multiple MB failures but only one i4790k I had been overclocking the piss out of for years. I keep spare just-in-case parts. It beats pulling your hair out.

PSU is a HIPR

PSU: HIPRO HP-F2007F3P 200W but also tried with a FSP Group Inc. ATX-300GTF 300W
Using Intel HD Graphics, no gpu

If the FSP was a functioning unit, the only thing you can dot is disconnect the HDD and take out the RAM. Than try to boot and see what happens

Same thing. No HDD or RAM connected.

So yes, it's either the mobo or the CPU. Most likely the mobo.
But without spare parts, it's just a guess

Could it be a bricked BIOS?

Why ? Did you do anything with the bios, as an upgrade that failed ?
I would rather go with the power circuitry, the VRMs

Some things are working on the motherboard like the power light and the reset cmos jumper. Could it still be a motherboard issue?

Yes of course. There a 3 different power lines in a system: 3.3 V, 5 V and the main 12 V that feeds the CPU and the mobo.
You likely see the low voltages activities

Wait! The power supplies are 20-pin atx power but the motherboard has a 24-pin connector. Could that be a problem?

Did this PC ever function normally with this PSU ?

Discussion about the 20 or 24-PIN affair
https://forums.tomshardware.com/thr...... you can plug,be needed by the motherboard.

The weird thing is I used this PC with this PSU, then I haven't turned it on for a while, and now it's not working.

 

[JeffreyP55]

Gee, what are those pesky unpopulated motherboard pins doing there? Give me wire cutters.

I don't know about most of the good people on this boards expertise. I have been building computers since my Amiga days. It seems many folks come here with the same or similar problems. There should be a list list of the sequence of events that should be mandatory to read. Like.. Did you plug the power in? Maybe a flow chart. How did you wake up this morning. With sleep in your eyes. Yes/No and so on.
Truth be known, I was an FSE for 10 years before getting my electronics degree. No PC's in 1978. I serviced 80 column keypunch card machines. I was a great learning experience.
