Hey all,
I had some issues with my PC lately. Thought I had a failing hard drive, and never got around to testing it.
Fast forward 1 week, PC was stuck “updating” for two days. Forced a restart reluctantly. Had some failed boots to windows. Would post but not to the login screen. Powered off, then the PC wouldn’t turn on.
Disconnected everything from the PSU and jumped pins 4/5. PSU turned on. Checked a few voltages, had 5v and 12v. Didn’t check all pins.
I hook everything back up, still won’t turn on. Checked the power butting switch wires, 4ohms when pressing the power button. Tried jumping the power pins on MOBO. No luck.
Removed 24 pin and had all hard drives and DVD drive hooked up, all of those powered up. 12v connectors to MOBO hooked up as well, PSU runs.
Removed graphics card, ram (tried alternating each stick) no luck in booting.
I’m thinking to load up the 12v circuit with a 40w 12v light to see if it’s the power supply or not.
I think my MOBO finally kicked the bucket, it’s 7 years old.
Specs below:
Please let me know if there’s any other specs that can help out here.
