    NO boot

    I'm gonna get shot for this thread, I'm sure - because I've seen many like it, but I'm not finding an answer.

    My computer always runs. Built it exactly one year ago (9/11/2008) and its ran fine the entire time. Went to use it last night and the screensaver was locked up. No response to mouse or keyboard - so I powered down and attempted to power back on. It will not post. The fans come on, the drives spin, and it sits there.

    The phase LED's are all light. The cpu LED is flashing. The CPU cooling fan seems to be running VERY slow - but I haven't made a habit of cracking the case to check it over the year.

    I've cleared the CMOS using the directions from a post here (the button, the jumper, 20 minute wait, etc) and I've tried booting with each of the ram sticks individually. No change.

    Would hate to buy a new mobo to find its the cpu or vice versa. Suggestions?

    Re: NO boot

    Found two internal speakers and connected each one of them to the mobo. Neither of them really beeped - more like croaked - but I think i can still tell what they're trying to do. (Strange that the speakers were working in the computers I took them out of last time I checked.)

    Anyway - when I push the power button I instantly get one beep (as I'm pushing the button) and a follow-up beep. From there, I just get a short beep every 3-5 seconds - the same time that the CPU_LED light flashes.

    So, is it a fried board? A fried CPU? A bad power supply? Or a CMOS issue? I've reset the CMOS a number of times, and got nothing. Tried every combination of ram - and unhooked everything and tried to boot just the vid card and CPU.

    What kills me is how it just started doing this. I didn't just build the system and I didn't just add anything.

      Re: NO boot

      My first though would be the power supply. Often when a PSU dies it does so without notice. The "croaking" could be a result of a lack of power as well. Do you have a spare to try?

        Sadly, no - not with the right type of board connectors anyway. I thought thermaltake was kind of reknown for their power supplies?

            Re: NO boot

            Thermaltake is a good name but no company is perfect and there will always be the occasional faulty component. My truck is a Chevrolet and my brother has a Ford and a Dodge .... all good names and all have required repairs over the years.

            .... anyway there is no guarantee that the PSU is your problem. It is, however, where I would start and is usually one of the easier parts to swap out. Someone else may have better advice for you ....

              Re: NO boot

              Well, i can give it a shot - at least there are places in town to buy PSU's - and most of em aren't too jumpy about returns on a PSU (like they are CPUS) - so its sure a good place to start.

              You mentioned that it could get "packed up" what do you mean by that?

                  Re: NO boot

                  Okay - latest update. Went to Best Buy - picked up a new CPU cooler and a new PSU (only 650 watt, but it should at least boot the system).

                  Started with the new CPU cooler (in case the mobo could detect it wasn't running well and decided to not boot for safety.) No change. Hooked up the brand new PSU into the system and STILL no change. Internal speaker still is croaking - CPU light is still flashing - and I'm still not booting at all.

                  Step 2?

                    i have no idea,it can only be your cpu or motherboard now but which one i cant say,also you said you fitted new cpu fan? did u check the cpu socket? make sure no thermal paste has got onto any surrounding parts as its conductive

                      Re: NO boot

                      When I fitted - I didn't actually attach to the CPU - I just hooked it up to power to see if a new one would run any better. If it did - then I was going to install it properly.

                          I could try that - but I did try to boot without any graphics card - just to see if the system would actually try to start - and it doesn't. It doesn't seem to even get that far. It gets some power and then halts...

                              Can you please record and upload then post me a link to your error beeps?

                              Can you borrow a stick of ram for testing? Or do you have a spare old stick laying around? Any cheap 1.8V DDR2 would be fine, just want to test if it is your ram or not.

                              Do you have a old PCI GFX Card, or a older/smaller PCIE one to test with as well? If not see if you can find one to use for testing
