| would not boot or beep if the CPU fan was plugged into the three pin connector on the Mobo and was not running |
Most boards now have this type of feature, saves on cooked cpu's and disgruntled customers.
The CPU could be cooked, though, I am still wondering when exactly was the last time Bryan can verify the sysem was up and running?
Right before packing it up to bring home?
Or, was it all packed up when he got there ready to go?
Not to finger point or anything like that, but because if Bryan packed it up and actually saw it running then something changed between the front door of his friends house and the first time he attempted to boot it at home on his return. Which lends to transit vibrations and possibly shorting out.
If it was all ready to go, or sitting there turned off waiting to pack up, there isn't any telling when it went udder's up. Which lends strongly to a cooked CPU, fault tolerant CPU Fan connection on the motherboard and a dead fan or some such.
btw: I only dropped out before because I needed to go lay down, which I need to go back to doing now. Just thought I'd look in and see if BoXXi found some joy with this computer or not.
Everyone have a great night/day/morning/evening, BoXXi luck with it and see you all some time tomorrow when I check to see of any updates.
