See my previous question......
PC powered on briefly then powered off.
Anyway, managed to get hold of spare mobo/cpu (call them mobo B and CPU B). And it worked.
Same CPU socket, so tried original cpu (call it cpu A) in the new mobo (call it mobo B). Didn't work - same as before. Thought ah faulty CPU it is.
Trouble is now reverted to previous working seletion (mobo B and cpu B) and thats displaying the same!
So, is that even possible? Is there any way that the original CPU A managed to blow the first motherboard (A) and, now I've tried it in the 2nd motherboard (B) its blown that one too?
Its weird, no lights, no beeps, fans start for about 5 seconds then powers off.
