Lets look at what's common and what's not between the attempts you made to get it going again, specifically in terms of hardware. And don't be afraid to test the unconventional as well. I'd try it with a basic test setup as described and try different things like a different GPU, I'm thinking that may be your problem but then again, it could be anything at this point.
I will mention just because the GPU showed no signs of trouble before doesn't mean it's still good NOW, everything when it fails has that exact point in time failure occurs and it goes from there. All you need is your keyboard to be hooked up where it should be, the mouse itself isn't required to go for a basic "Will it work or not" kind of boot.įrom what I"m seeing by what's described it could be a bad GPU, a bad stick of RAM. I'd also suggest not connecting anything not required to make it boot, including all drives because a bad drive can cause it to hang while booting. You will get the error at POST prompting you to go in to the BIOS (Press F1) but that's normal to see whenever you do this and it defaults. You can do this three or four times in a row, back to back and then see if it will boot at all. If there is an issue with your RAM settings you can force a default boot by pressing and holding the power button until it cuts off on it's own. Leave it like that for about 10 minutes, then pop the battery back in first and then restore power to try it again. The red LED can be caused by defective RAM or RAM settings not right.īe sure to check your CMOS battery voltage with a voltmeter, if it's below 2.9v's replace it, if it's above 2.9v's it's probrably OK but if right at the limit (2.91V's) replace it anyway because you will before long.īe sure to attempt to clear the BIOS, by disconnecting/killing power from the wall and then remove the battery, then press the power button a few times. It's something I personally don't like it but that's how they are so, unless you've seen it act differently while it was working just know that tends to be normal.
It's not unusual for the GPU fan to stay off during POST, most if not all these days are supposed to do that anyway, only starting up when they reach a given temp. That's why I was sorting what was common and not between your attempts to fix it. So, it seems the CPU itself isn't starting up inspite of a different PSU, board and CPU's in use. There was no indication of problems with the card prior to the crash.Ĭlick to expand.Lets look at what's common and what's not between the attempts you made to get it going again, specifically in terms of hardware.ĭifferent: Board and PSU in use along with the CPU. The GPU fans do not run when I try to boot, but the VGA light does not come on. I have not tried it on the new board.Īll of my case fans and the Wraith cooler have continued to run when I try to boot. I tried clearing CMOS on the old motherboard no change. I tried replacing the CMOS battery on the old motherboard no change. The machine still will not POST, and the red CPU LED continues to mock me. I also removed all the RAM and tried to boot with just one stick, swapping each one out. SSD: Samsung 860 Evo 1 TB 2.5" Solid State DriveĪttempting to narrow down the problem, I have replaced the motherboard (same model), processor (same model), and PSU (EVGA BQ 600 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX). Processor: AMD FX-8350 w/stock Wraith cooler Last week, my computer shut down while in "sleep" mode, and when I tried to turn it back on, I got the red CPU LED light and no POST.
