my detailed troubleshoot, help

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

This weekend my pc died on me to which in return would not start. After a few hours of tinkering with connections my baby booted back up again. This to me at first, was just a hiccup until two days ago it happened again.

What occurred before the crash: it was 4am about an hour before work when I decided to log on to a game called vindictus to manage auction house sales. When I started loading the game I got an error which asked if is like to report the bug. I said no and tried again like any gamer would. After trying again I got the same error and immediatly after the bsd.

What's wrong: upon starting my pc, my graphic cards revs at highspeed. Like the fan is at100 percent, my led lights come on, my hard disk light remains of, I get no monitor display my cdr drive works 50%, and my keyboard gets no power, yet I can charge my phone and external hard drive with USB connections.

My trouble shoot: before losing all hope I deep cleaned all parts and tried to boot. Nothing

I then removed my gpu and turned my pc on, waiting for my hard disk to boot, knowing by the light indicator on my pc case. Nothing

I then proceeded to start my comp with one missing part in exception my mobo CPU andmemory sticks. Still nothing.

I have a feeling it is a fried mOtherboard but am unsure and could use some more insight. If it is the motherboard what are your opinions on its possible replacment for a coolermaster case. I was looking at the Asus sabertooth, but am unsure if an AMD CPU would work well with it.

you know we have a pc tech talk thread right?

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

Im aware of that but im hoping for more immediate help by posting a specific thread involving my current dilemma.
.
Reason being I'm not sure exactly why I need to replace and if I can find out with help before the 31st newegg has a ton of no shipping fee deals.

Check your PSU fooo!

From before what you said about your CPU heatsink... maybe ya fried that...

Honestly sounds like PSU troubles.

Edit: PSU = Power Supply Unit...

I guess that explains why it seems my gpu is raging and why my disk drive and usbs are in consistent in distributing power. That could also be my mono.

If it matters my PSU is an xfx, 750w

Is there a specific way to test and see if its my PSU?

[StarsMine]

Get an old PSU or ask a buddy and plug that in to see if it boots.

Or fries his... not likely... but not impossible.

sounds like a PSu problem, mostly because it looks like its not distributing the power to the right places. you're +12V rails are working but its not supplying power to your mobo. does your CPU fan start up or just your GPU fan?

I've had problems in the past with the PC not starting and it was overheating.

Make sure that CPU's got some thermal glop on the bottom of that sucker.

my led lights turn on, GPU fan runs obnoxiously high, seems like the back panal USB ports dont get any power but the ones on the front of my case do, my cd-rom drive will open but immediatly close shut down then work again, my CPU fan works fine, all other internal fans work fine as well. And yes ell, i re thermaled my cpu
