IShb3w Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 running an Enermax Noisetaker 600watt, NF4 Ultra-D. the light on the bottom left corner on the mobo blinks as does the power light on the front of the case. wont turn on. took out ram and placed it in another computer to make sure it was still ok as this is the only part compatible with my roommates' pc's.. it worked fine, now my question is that do you think the psu absorbed the jolt or could it have fried my mobo as well?

terror_adagio Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 If it was a good PSU, it should have just taken out the PSU, not motherboard. I'd try another PSU to check. Did you have surge protectors? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenC Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 First create a signature. See link on my sig. Have you tried clearing cmos? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IShb3w Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 yes tried cmos, and it was a power strip not a surge protector, and yes it was a very good psu not very old at all so thats what im leaning towards... kinda doesnt make sense to have a pc worth 2 grand and not have an awesome surge protector huh haha, thanks for all your help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenC Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 The 4 diag led's are any lit. Do the case/chipset/cpu fans spin up? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IShb3w Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 The 4 diag led's are any lit. Do the case/chipset/cpu fans spin up? like i stated earlier just the amber light next to the four diag lights is lit up, but it flashes very rapidly, same as the power light on the front of the case... and no nothing powers on at all if i hit the power button.. im thinking my power supply is just fried and its just barely putting out any power or sumthing.

StephenC Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 You can try another PSU. Have you tried reseting PSU, turning it off and diconnecting powercord? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IShb3w Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 You can try another PSU. Have you tried reseting PSU, turning it off and diconnecting powercord? ive tried connecting it to another socket and it didnt work, and well i dont have a 480watt min 24 pin psu that i know of to try out... although i can take mine out and try it in my roommates pc (it allows to disconnect the extra 4 pins), i would have done all this but my work schedule is kinda brutal, im off tomorrow and monday tho so ill do all i can then Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenC Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 You dont have to power up system. Just see if the standby light is lit (not flashing) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IShb3w Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 You dont have to power up system. Just see if the standby light is lit (not flashing) right, thats not what i meant, it is lit as soon as the comp is plugged in, sorry for any miscomunication Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewZorn Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 although i cannot offer troubleshooting for the computer too well, i can tell you this short story... i came home about 2mos ago to find my 3400+/K8N Neo/9800pro off. the green power light was still on. nothing did anything. the powerstrip was insured for 20000 so i thought everythign would go smooth, too bad cyberpower wanted a receipt for it. i just moved, so not only could i locate it, but i am unsure whether or not i even saved it. so i had to go through homeowners insurance, which cost me a $250 deductible. the opportunity to get an upgrade allowed me to. bottom line: see if your surge protector has a protection guarantee, or maybe check and see if your homeowners insurance (if you have any) covers surges.
