System is as follows:
Gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra-9
A64 3200+
2x512mb Corsair VS DDR 3200
ATI X800XL
Antec TrueBlue 480
The back story...
I was having slow performance and noticed the HD thrashing quite a bit. Decided to defrag. System rebooted its self during defrag but came back up and was normal so I dismissed it. The next morning the system tried to load windows 4 times before finally coming up. I brought the system down and brought it into work with me (I work in an IT dept) to run diagnostics. From my house to work the system now will not boot at all. If you press the power button the fans spin for about 1/2 of a second and then all is dead. Nothing on screen, no beep codes, nota.
The PSU was pulled and is confirmed to be good. I took the system down to base config (1 memory stick, vid card, CPU) and still get same issue. Fan spins for half a second and then nota. Just trying to get some sort of beep code I removed the vid card and got nothing. Pulled the memory and CPU and left just the board hooked up to the PSU (with drives attached to PSU for load but not connected to the board) and got nothing.
I started looking at the beep codes (AMI bios) and can not determine if I'm supposed to get a beep code with no cpu or not. This leaves me with an undetermined cause of death. I have no other s939 parts to test with (The company I work for is all Dell so all Intel.). Any guesses?
*****
Cliffs notes:
Either CPU or MB is dead. Can not determine which. Need help.
