I took some parts out of an old gateway I have for another PC, namely the Hard drive and PSU.
Today I tried putting a PSU and hard drive back into it.
When I power it on it seems like its trying to boot up but I never get any video output.
I tried reseting the cmos, using the onboard video, using 1 stick of ram, triple checking that all the connections where set, I even went so far as to take the mobo out of the case and visually inspect it for burn marks to see if it somehow fried.
But still no video.
I took out the 4 pin 12v connector out of the motherboard and tried booting it up, What happens is kind of odd (not that I know a huge amount about computers) but it turns on (still no video) but all the fans are going at 100% speed.
When I start it up with the 4 pin 12v in the mobo its sounds like the fans run at maybe 50% or so.
Also with no ram in the motherboard it doesnt beep. I read a forum that said it should beep with no ram...
When I hold the power button to power down the PC the fan in the back of the case turns off but not the CPU fan.
To make that turn off I have to manually hit the switch on the PSU itself. When I do the pc makes a small beeping noise that fades as it loses power, other than that it doesnt make a sound.
Idk how much this will help but this is the mobo and this is the cpu
Thanks.
