Computer Issues

Hey i built a machine last year November to be exact and now im having problems with it.

I turn it on and it starts but nothing else happens no monitor, no beeps nothing and then it turns it self of any ideas?

I thought it was the motherboard so i sent it of but no problems where found with it and i have received it back to have the same problems.

I have also tried different RAM in it but that did not help im either thinking it is the CPU or Power Supply any ideas any one?

No beeps at all tends to suggest CPU I think.

Or PSU not putting enuf voltage out.

What spares you got to swap/test with?

i aint got either CPU or Power supply as my pc is 20pin and new pc is 24pin so i cant test.

24pin motherboards take 20pin power supplies, should work unless you have a very high end system.

Well i bit the bullet and decided to try a new power supply and it worked which suprised me tbh but at least i can rid of the computer

Bought new PSU for Â£13 so hopefully it will be ok lol

Glad you got it sorted Phantom.
