ASUS P5W DH Deluxe

[monkeydude7230]

Hi 

i bought a pc yesterday, i got it home, plugged it in and turned it on, it posted and booted from a hard drive, i turned it off to go to bed, woke up in the morning, pressed the power button and all it did was power the drive, cd-rom drives, fans but didnt post.

 

I have tried a different graphics card, ram cards, ram positions, cleared CMOS RTC RAM data checked to make sure jumpers are ok but still no outcome

 

please help because this pc would be a great base for a gaming pc

 

Cheers,

    Michael

Its possible that the motherboard has died, since it is getting old. My P5Q Deluxe has the same problem after being left unused for a couple of months. Do you have a BIOS speaker/buzzer, and do you get any beep codes if for example you don't install any of the RAM?

it doesnt beep when theres no ram, but there is a buzzer because i restarted it yesterday and it beeped once and then continued to boot but still no output

If you a quote a person (little arrow next to the + sign at the bottom of a post) they will get a notification that you responded.

 

I would also try a different psu.

Ok, if it beeped once, and continued to boot with no display output it would be the graphics card that's dead/at fault. That 1 beep is to say that the BIOS has run its check and everything is fine (which my P5 Deluxe doesn't do-but it does have bent pins in its CPU socket, so that's probably its problem).

So no BIOS beep then? In that case its the motherboard is probably dead-looking at it on the Asus website, it is one of the earlier LGA775 motherboards to support the Core Duo.

It just happens, especially if left plugged in as desktops still draw a tiny amount of power even when turned off.

You could always replace the motherboard, and if you wanted to do more with it, get one that can take the LGA775-771 socket mod-which lets it run the cheap LGA771 Xeons which are still very good.
