I have an older Intel 875PBZ computer(the one in my sig) that is suffering some kind of major problem. It will not post, no beeps, fans come on, power led is on, no HD activity, the odd thing is it will not turn off unless I unplug it or switch off the PSU so I'm thinking it's either the PSU or motherboard that is fried.
I unplugged the main 24 pin power connector from the mobo and switched the power on and the PSU did not power up. When I plugged it back in and switched it on, the PSU powered up. I unplugged the case power switch from the mobo and it still powered on with the switch disconnected.
So, it's looking to me like the motherboard or CPU is shot, I'm in the process of removing all the boards to see if I get any beeps without the RAM.
Any ideas?
