Hi, currently I am having a old computer which can't be turned on. The model of the mobo is p7h55-m le by Asus(http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P7H55M_LE/).
And my cpu is i3-530
When I click on the power button,the fan of my psu spins for 1 sec and stops, without me clicking again the fan of the psu spins and stops. This process continues until I off the psu itself. For each interval to occur it take around 3-5 sec.
The troubleshoot I did include
-using another motherboard to check if the psu works. So I don't think it's the psu
- jumpstart the mobo with only cpu and cpu cooler.( check if ram or other stuff might affect)
- clearing cmos by taking the battery out and also tried replacing a new one.
- I cant take the cpu out as it is stuck due to the old cpu heatsink stand.( can't test without cpu, sorry)
I tired my best to keep components from getting static.
Before this problem, I left my comp off for 3 days straight, as I was not around. The power source was disconnected, so it's not possibility due to thunderstorm.
And yes, I know this comp is old but I would like to try my best to save it, if possible.
Is there any other way to check if the mobo really dead? Please do share thanks.
