Welllll.... long story short, worked for about 9 months, then all of a sudden it froze at POST, i restarted, and the lights and fans start spining, but no post.

I thought i was PSU, cause i had one go bad on me before and do the same thing, bought a new one, nothing.

RMA'd Mobo, nothing..

RMA'd CPU, nothing..

Used bro's ram in comp(same everything, all our parts are compatible) nothing, but works in his.

Used his GPU in mine, nothing, didnt try in his.

Used his HDD in mine, nothing, mine in his = PROFIT!!!

Cleared CMOS, fail...


So i've replaced/tryed different parts everything in my computer, dunno what else it could be, but it sure is givin me a hard time, been fighting with it for 2 months now, using mom's laptop to post this...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry but starting tomorrow i will be out of town for a full week so i will not be able to check back here for post's or try anything with my computer >.<.


And if Alex see's this - im gonna try Step 3. when i get back.

Thanks guys.

Sounds like you have another computer at this point..you getting video? Checked standoffs (I assume so, but always good to make sure)?

Yea kinda, and no, no video. Standoff's aren't loose or anything, is their something else i could do to make sure their not grounding? Like buy some rubber washers or something?

Best thing to do would be to stick it on a wood table or cardboard box or something.

What replacement PSU did you buy? Do you have it with only the basics (one stick of RAM, CPU, GPU)?

It sounds the most to me like the PSU. It's extremely unlikely that you'd get two dead ones in a row, but it's RAIDMAX..and it's got LEDs.
