I'm having trouble diagnosing whether the issue that is causing my system not to Post beep is my motherboard, cpu, or power supply. I stripped it down to these three items to figure out what the issue is and i know its one of these because i'm STILL not getting a beep from the spdif out speaker and I should be with these basic components. I am reading a voltage from the power supply (about 10 volts, never did a amp test) + fans are working, which makes me rule out power supply ( less its not enough Watts). I'm trying to think of a way to test next whether its the CPU or motherboard next, (without having to buy a cpu/motherboard to deduce which one's the mess up). Any help or input on this situation and what other people would do next in my situation's appreciated . If not i'm going to just buy a CPU and see if that fixes the issue and so on...
