Okay, so my computer has been dead the whole summer while I was on vacation. When I came back home I was like WTF! So I took it to a computer repair shop and they advised me to get a new motherboard, so I did exactly. My old motherboard was a ASUS P5N-D 650i SLI, and I just got a ASUS P5N-E 750i SLI. I took off the old motherboard and I added the new one in. I plugged everything in where it belongs, from what I can tell. But, when I press the power button, it doesn't turn on. The led lights glow blue for a second, and the CPU Fan spins 1 rotation then the computer shuts off. Please help!! Thanks in Advance. Here is what's inside the computer: 4gb DDR2 RAM nVidia 9600GT gfx card 2 optical drives 500gb SATA HDD
Posted there also, I just want to make sure I am not doing anything stupid before I actually do something.
what are the fans doing? are they spinning for a second, stopping, and then spinning again? if that is the case your motherboard needs more power, some motherboards have two power inputs. what power supply do you have?
-before you bought did you check if everything was compatible? -unplug everything and plug it all back in (make sure all of your power is off!!!) -did you open on a carpet?
- Power Supply may not have enough juice. - BIOS settings may need to be tweaked and updated - Hardware compatibility issues - Possibly a bad memory issue - CPU could be bad - Parts may not be plugged and seeded correctly.
