hello
hey all i have a GA-7NNXP mobo 1.25 gb crucial ram
geforce 5200 fx. seagate HD 80 gb
amd 2500(unlocked) clocked to 3200(volcano 9 of course) its been running fine for thepast 8 months. But i turned off my comp one day and went inside my case to just move a couple of wires and the thing wont boot or show me bios or anything . no beep too!
I switched mobo to a shuttle ak31v1 and vid card to a bunch of geforce 2's that worked last time i checked.... no solution yet guys.. any thoughts?
thx anyways.

Several possibilities but if you have changed motherboard/graphics/ram then that only leaves powersupply or CPU. You seem to be in denial over the possibility that a component being stressed above it designed operating parameters might just fail despite the "volcano 9 of course"
Another possible cause would be static discharge due to improper grounding when you were moving those couple of wires.Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.
Teach him to fish and you feed him for life.

Try swapping out your power supply unit. It sounds like it may have blown. Once you have found a suitable replacement, take out all pieces of hardware apart from:
power supply
processor
motherboard
one stick of memoryThen take out the BIOS battery for a few minutes to reset it. Once you've put it back in, try booting the computer. If it works, add each piece of hardware one-by-one until you found the fault. If there's no fault, it was just your PSU getting blown (but it's likely it was a piece of dodgy hardware or a power surge/spike).
I hope this helps,
James

well i said that thing about the volcano 9 because i wouldnt overclock it that high with a regular heatsink/fan. im sorry but i forgot to mention that the first time i tried to turn it on it did make a loud beeping sound as if something was wrong( not your regular "beep") it did this the first 15 times i pressed the on/off button. Then it just gave up... no it turns on and nothing happens... no bios no beep no visual on my monitor. i also forgot to mention that i did switch cpu witha amd 1800+ . The only things i havent been able to swap are the psu and ram.
