System not booting, No display, front disk reader light linking blinking at constant rate PLEASE HELP

[Chaitanya Anand]

Its been weeks since my computer died. Symptoms:
1. System not booting at all.
2. No display.
3. Front disk reader LED light keeps blinking per second once.

I took it to a nearby repairshop, the guy checked the RAM slots with his own RAM sticks, even those didn't work which were newly bought specifically for testing. He said there could be a motherboard failure, but he wasn't sure.

If you want to know more please ask, I'm desperate for a solution. Thanks in advance.

It's possible to diagnose faulty component from beep codes when PC is turned on(internal PC speaker must be connected for that).
If diagnosing by beep codes is not an option, then every component must be checked. You get component from your PC and put into working one until you find faulty component.
You check CPU, RAM, HDD, DVD, PSU, GPU one by one. If all of those are good, then only motherboard is left and you can assume it's bad.

Yeah, I agree with you because almost everything is non-functional simultaneously (except the PSU) which doesn't make sense. Even those RAM sticks were in favor.

But wait, there might be another possibility too I doubt. The motherboard is giving power, the fans are working in the cabinet. That repairer guy inserted a voltage checking card in the last PCI slot, and told it was optimal. Couldn't that mean the processor is having a fault?

Give some specs so people know what they deal with.

You also could bench it,

Specs:
AMD FX-6300 Processor
GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 (rev 6.0) Motherboard
Transcend 1x8GB DDR3 @ 1333Mhz
Corsair VS550 PSU
Nvidia Geforce GT610 2GB Graphics
WD 500GB Internal HDD

P.S.: Didn't used to clean it regularly, had literally opened the chassis after a year. The repairer shop cleaned the dust inside through a high pressure blowing pipe. I am willing to mention any factors, if required. I know AMD is a heating giant, that is why I doubt the processor too here.

[strike]Can you test with ddr2 as well?[/strike]

Can you test with ddr2 as well?

How do you imagine to do that on motherboard that supports DDR3 only?

Oh boy another thread that this was meant for.:lol:

Stick to the topic guys, I still need help here. Any suggestions?

Well - I told you already. You need to find faulty component (might be more than one).
Go back to computer repair shop and ask to diagnose all components from your PC one by one.

The psu should bhe able to handle those components,but looking at the quality would i let them check first with another psu.
