Hi everyone,

 

I just cleaned an old Q8300 PC and after reinstalling everything it just wont post. Everything kinda works like the cpu fan, exhaust fan. GPU feels warm. Also installed a new PSU. Tried moving around the RAM sticks also to no avail. Could I possibly have a dead board here. PC is an Acer turd

 

Thanks for the help

hatin on acer lol

 

try booting with one stick of ram? if that fails, try booting with just onboard graphics? if that fails try sending it to the recycle bin?

"Acer turd" ha thanks for making my day.

 

Did you check the connections?
