    |  Computer wont start... New computer just put together and all I get is a solid blue power LED to work.... It has PCCHIPS M861G v1.6a AMD64 3200+ AGI 280w PSU Maxtor HDD -tested NEC DVD-RW Corsair Value Select 512MB PC 3200 -tested Elixr 512MB PC3200 -tested Number Nine 32MB AGP card -needed just for DVI (old!) Anyways I get no beeps, and it should at least spin the fans and such. I tried without IDE drives plugged in... If I had to guess I would say the PSU is the thing gone bad but I don't know...

|  Maybe 280 watts isnt enough power for your setup... I ran quickly through Fu3lmans Juice calculator and it looked like maybe you need more power. I didnt know all of your specs to fill in the blanks, but you may want to check that out.

| Are your fans plugged into the PSU or the motherboard? I would have to guess that it is a mobo problem. Are you sure that your power button and other front panel buttons and lights are plugged in correctly?

| Im pretty damn sure its the mobo now guys... Ugh... I dont want to send it back in... I tried different RAM, PSU's, drives/no drives, video card/ card, double/triple/quadruple checked cords and everything... All I got was a stupid blue LED light for power, no fans, no beeps, nothing moving at all. I mean if the CPU was shot the mobo would beep, and the fans would spin up. Damnit this was for my girlfriend too and now I have to send it back and get owned on shipping... Should I send it in to PC CHIPS or the company I got it from?

| If i were you, id send it back to where ever you bought it. Trade it in for either a msi, gigabyte, abit, or asus board. I dont know your technical experience with hardware but pc chips motherboards are the lowest quality boards you can buy with the highest failure rate. They have made a name for themselfs as the worst motherboard manufacturer. Im not surprised if that board was doa. Just a longshot..... There's a sticker on the memory slots stating to set the jumper to normal mode. Did you remember to set the cmos jumper to the normal position? |
