PC is dead. :_< #2

by destiny • 27 Jul 2008, 10:01 • Journals
I didn't got an answer last time cuz I made the journal in like 5am or something, well.. my PC died :< I was playing Warsow with OverSchie and than out of nowhere it just shuted down, when it did, it made this beep sound in the headphones. (maybe it can help ya understand the problem)
now everytime that I turn it on it goes on and the fans are starting to work but it doesn't start to beep and the monitor shows only black.
I tried to unplug the battery in the PC and replug it but it didn't do much.. I guess it's called "reseat" and I tried replug the gfx card but it didn't work aswell.. I dont know what to do, I called the company and asked if I still got the warranty, I do have it but only for the motherboard, for the rest I gotta pay and I prefer buying a new one but if there is any way to fix it, please tell me how ;<
when I talked to the company and told them about the problem they said that it might be the mother-board and the power supplier but I'm not sure cuz the PC is getting the power and the lights are going on and the fans are working.. but I dont know how this things are working.. ;<
so, anyone got anyy idea how can I fix this PC?
if someone can help me ill set him up a date with IsraelTheoDor/Cohen.

* UPDATE *

Ill take the PC now to the store and leave it there for a few days, I guess it's the mobo/CPU/memory/Power supply XD like u all said.. well, wish me luck and I just hope they won't try to set me up

Your Graphic card Is probably Dead, You can try to take the graphic card from your second computer and plug him into the dead one, if its feets, to see if it is the problem.

Graphics card or Memory overheating imo

if it's the memory so the PC should make a beep sound no? or atleast show me something on the monitor..
I tried the onboard gfx card and it didn't work aswell so I'm not sure that its the gfx card cuz I've been using the onboard card untill I bought the new one so I know it should work.

Well I had a memory problem once and I had a black screen because (afaik) the boot order is memory then gfx card, so if it is getting stuck on the memory then nothing would appear on the screen as it wouldnt have got as far as gfx.

Some motherboards have lights on them showing how far it has got in the boot process, if you have that then you can see what stage your PC gets to and then you can see the problem.

what lights do u mean? when I opened up the PC last night and turned it on I could see only this green light outside the PC near the power button, I was looking for a light inside the PC on the motherboard and couldn't find one..

tried a different powersupply yet?

EDIT: Had the same, the lights were working and the cpu fan aswell, it's just some volt line gettin fucked up, get a new psu, or borrow one from a friend. Thats prolly it imo

just let them put in a different psu, dont let them fuck you over, they like doing this when you have no clue, justmake sure you sound like you kinda know what your doing or they will say its memory etc :D

As they said it should be mobo or PSU but that thing is with lights on is weird so i rather dunno if there is stilla prob with PSU. Maybe that supplier can't provide enough power to graphic card so if you have some old one try to plug it in and try (w/o 6pin molex for gpsu). But i think the problem is in mobo. U did CMOS restart (took battery out) so there shouldn't be any kind of software problem. It is pretty hard to help u out via internet, as i said go back to store and let them check. Ehich kind of mobo do you have...

CPU or Power supply ( happened to me many times ). Did you try other power supply? If Yes and it didn't work It can be motherboard or CPU

cpu memory or gfx comes to mind, altho normally you'd get the decency of the speaker bleeping at you if this was the case.

maybe your system speaker r teh broked.

would be nice to know which kind of beep sound it was (high or low, just 1 time or like 3 times) because bios is giving the error by beeping.

Its the motherboard memory or PSU.
But seeing your signs, its prolly motherboard.
CPU's don die very fast unless you brake them or overheat them very much..
