Subject: Which is Dead? CPU or MOBO?? if anyOS: AnyCPU/Ram: PIII ??? |
Comment: Here's the deal: after unplugging all peripherals from my system (HD, CD, Floppy, Modem, NIC, Sound) and powering up with JUST the AGP vid card installed, I see NO video. I swapped vid cards w/ a PCI and still no luck. Even having the HD connected has no sounds of booting, so therefore I suppose the CPU or Mobo is shot. Is there a way to tell WHICH one it is without swapping CPU's and Mobo's w/ eeach other? Also, would a PII work in the CPU slot where the PIII was? It's the Slot 1 type or whatever. NOT the kind with pins, it's the flat "card type" processor.
Any help? THANKS!!
Tim

Reply: (edit)most likely motherboard...just check your video card to see if the van on it spins = if it doesn't motherboard doesn't even work...it's because your motherboard isn't passing the CPU test; i have that problem about 3 times already & on my 4th one...ASUS NEVER sends me a good one...i'm going to go nuts this time...
