Hi, my PC doesnot boot. It starts but no display no beep. Either hard disk LED glows or Power LED. CPU fan runs. I thaught it to me SMPS as I am having cheap PSU. So bought a Corsair 450w. (Athlon II x2 245)

Connected new PSU. Now no LED glows. CPU fan rotates and instantly stops. Thaught it to be a motherboard problem.(Asus M4A78LT-ML-E). Took everything to Asus service. They guessed mobo problem and I got a replacement. I replaced my RAM too

Now no LED glows, CPU fan rotates. It seems mobo is running but again no display, no beep.

So I am not able to find out where the problem is. Is the replaced mobo also faulty or my CPU is fusssss... :hissyfit:

1. Reset the BIOS.
2. If you have done the same mistake as the poster above, then nothing can be said. Just connect those cables correctly.

yes connected cables correctly. There is no chance of mastake in connecting as specific plugs are for specifis shocket. You cant connect SATA into TDE right.

I am taking the mobo again to service center and loggeg a RMA request with AMD. They gave me a ticket no. by mail. But what to do now. Anybody have any idea how these processor's RMA is carried out ?
