I press the power button, it starts, the fans come on, the HDD light blinks for few seconds, then nothing. Nothing on monitor either, I have video card, but connected on on-board, and switched with working video card, but still nothing. Since I cant even see the bios, I am thinking its the CPU? or the mobo?
I was running 3Dmark last night, left it running over night, came back in the morning, the computer was still running but nothing would show on the Monitor, rebooted and that's when I saw the above behavior.
I read that 3Dmark can burn you CPU some CPU0 error or something... is it true?
I am planning to unplug everything and start deep trouble shooting, but I am pretty sure either mobo or cpu is hosed. I do have a couple of other desktops with same socket, I will switch the CPU and see what happens, but that's the last resort.
