Computer turns on but doesn't post

Justin5237 · October 2, 2015

My dad brought home an old computer from work, and now I'm trying to get it to work. The problem is when I turn the power supply on, all the fans run at full speed, and nothing shows up on the monitor. The monitor does work and everything is plugged in. The computer model is MPC client pro 565 if that helps.

a computer should do a POST, try to check all the cable ( that thing is old why not get a new Computer ? )

I was just trying to get it to work I don't really plan on using it, but I'll double check the cables

Anytime I have issues with something like this, I start but unplugging things (but keeping track of where they were plugged in) and getting just down to motherboard, one stick of ram (if there is two or more), video card (if needed), and the CPU. Older machines should have a speaker on the mobo so wait for a beep if there is a speaker. If it posts then, start adding things back in and see where it fails again.

I'll try that too, thanks!
