"Ahh, Help!"

Ok. This hapopened on monday.

PC crashed.

Not a big deal.

Then I pulled out the power cable, and reconnected it. Pressed the power button.

Nothing.

Fans whir, a few clicks, but a completly blank screen.

I know it's not the monitor, because as soon as I pulled out the monitor cable from my graphics card, it came up with a "No Signal Input" display...

Specs:

Gigabyte Motherboard (two months old)
1GB Ram (2 months)
Connect 3D ATi Radeon 9600XT (2 months)
Pentium 4 3.2GHz CPU (1 month)
120 GB HDD
2x DVD Drive

What's happened? Has the CPU fried? Is my Mobo AWOL???

Help!!!

Meh, stoopid me...

Bent the IDE pin...

:(

Gonnna get another GAK1100 mobo, it worked great... Any other P4 mobo better I should know about?

Try turning the PSU off, either by flicking it's switch, flicking the wall switch or unplugging the power cord from the back. Then turn the computer on at the front, holding down the power button for a few seconds. Plug it all back in and see if anything's different.

Also have you reset the CMOS? Your motherboard manual should explain how to do this, it involves moving a jumper (a little metal contact in a plastic sleeve) from it's normal position bridging two pins somewhere on your motherboard to another position for a few seconds, then moving it back.

Yeah, just RMA your board and they will take care of the rest.

Bios chip?

Sounds almost exactly like the problem my brother had which was also a gigabyte motherboard. The BIOS chip had to be replaced.

No...

Sorry, thanks...

Define? I didn't know that existed...

Do people ever use google?

Pop.

Yes, ATX!

What does that mean?

Well I always though a midi case is a bog standard ATX case.
