I need some ideas I'm stumped. My pc (AMD Athalon 2800+, ASUS A7n8x mobo,ati radeon vid card) went into what appeared to be "standby mode" power on, monitor in suspend. I couldn't wake it up. I tried everything, changed vid card, changed monitor, changed hdd, nothing would help. I put in an old P3 533 chip and mobo(gag) that was laying around in the same case with the same ps and it worked. So now I guess it's either the mobo or chip and since I can't really test one out without the other I figure what the heck time for an upgrade.
I got an ASUS A8N-E mobo, and an AMD 64 3000+ chip and rebuilt my system. To my surprise it has the exact same symptoms.
The case and cpu fans, cd rom power up. It doesn't seem that the HD does(can't hear the initial spin up) No beeps, no monitor. I changed the PS and still nothing. Help!!
