All,
I have been facing this issue for about a week now, and still trying to find a solution! Here’s what happened:
*
Installed a nVIDIA 9600 GT onto my D101GGC motherboard
*
Initially my PC was connected to a UPS – UPS used to BEEP loudly and shut off after a min whenever I tried to play WiC or Supreme Commander
*
Vexed as I was, I connected my PC directly to the MAINS (Stupid, Stupid!)
*
Happily played for 3-4 days (It’s a great value card for the money), until one fine day (2 AM in the monrning, actually) the lights went out (literally)!
*
Cracked open the case, and saw that the PSU had blown a fuse. Replaced it with a new PSU
*
Present Day – on touching the soft-touch POWER switch, the fans (CPU/PSU) rotate for 1 sec and then stops. When the PC is connected to the MAINS, the GREEN LED on the motherboard glows, showing that the Motherboard is receivng power.
*
Disconnected all peripherals (GPU, Disk Drives, DVD ROM) and tried -no change
*
Connected a POST diagnostic PCI card to see if I can figure out whether the issue is with the CPU or motherboard – no change
I am really trying to diagnose the problem to figure out if my motherboard or CPU (or both ) has conked out, so that I can replace one or the other. Any insights/advice/help is greatly appreciated!
My PC Config: P4 3.06 GHz, 2 GB DDR RAM, D101GGC Motherboard, NVIDIA 9600GT graphics card
Thanks,
