Dead motherboard?

[oskarha]

My Asus P5Q motherboard wont power on.

The little green light on the motherboard is lit when the PSU is on.

When I press the power button the cpu fan spins for a split second, and the system turns off.

The fans on the gpu do not spin.

The hard drives attached to the PSU do not spin up.

The CPU does not heat up.

 

I have tried:

 - Two power supplies (Corsair TX650 and Cooler Master B600), I have tested the B600 in another system and it works fine.

 - Changing CMOS battery

 - Different CPU

 - One stick of ram

 - Different GPU

 - Nothing but the motherboard

With the exact same results.

 

Specs:

Asus P5Q

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 (Celeron 440 tested as well)

4x2GB DDR2 (1x2GB tested as well)

GTX 660 (Matrox G450 tested as well)

Cooler Master B600 (Corsar tested as well)

Cooler Master V8 Cooler

Sounds like a bad board to me. You got a good run out of it. It's from like 2009 or so, right? Even though the caps are solid-topped, it's probably something simple like them failing. And I seem to remember they still sell G41 LGA775 boards new.

probably dead board, just to be sure check all cables, make sure there is no dust or anything else in the socket and reseat the CPU one or two times, if still nothing then i think the board is dead

I thought so too, probably bad caps

I bought the board for next to nothing used as a temp board until I get my hands on a P5Q Deluxe.

I know that the board was used for a file server, so it has seen alot of uptime

Im currently in the procces of benchmarking one cpu from every generation from conroe until haswell for a school project (the results will be put here aswell)  

Ill probably just end up using setfsb on one of my lga 775 dells to do the testing I need.

Everything has been triple checked, probably just a dead board

yah sounds like it, if you dont want to upgrade CPU, RAM and motherboard you can pick up a LGA 775 board for pretty cheap used or sometimes new on places like Ebay

For me, having a LGA775 board is mostly for overclocking fun and testing/comparing.

I already have a X79 main rig, a Z77 testbench and soon a X58 server, so I am in no way needing an upgrade.

I will probably end up picking up another LGA775 board used or from a dumpster
