MrBojangles Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Ok heres the lowdown, ya know, downlowAnyhooI just bought a new computer from newegg (so i got only parts) and i put it together. the comp worked for about 1 month before we had a power surge. I had to go buy a new power supply, so i put that in, another week of working, then we lose power. After that mah computer would turn on but i wouldnt get a picture on the screen. I heard from many people that this meant my motherboard was burnt out. So i bought a new motherboard, installed it, still no picture. now im down to the solution that its my processor thats broken. Does anyone agree with my new thought or am i doing something wrong?PLEASE HELP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBojangles Posted December 27, 2003 Author Share Posted December 27, 2003 its not the monitor, i tried 3 different ones, i also tried 2 dif video cards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-ROOSTER- Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 well from waht ive read its not the monitor or video card since your tried diffrent onesand its not the motherboard since you tryed different onesthis leaves the cpu as the most likely culprit, and may i suggest a high quality UPS to clamp down the voltage spikes.its entirely posible that the voltage spike went right threw your now dead PSU and killed your cpu with massive over voltage.my condolences...
