My PC decided it wasn't going to work anymore a few weeks ago. Last time it was known to be working it was shut down normally with no apparent problems. When I went to power it up the next day, nothing happened when I pressed the power button. No fan activity, no harddrives whirring up, no beeping, zip, nada, nowt.
My initial thought was to change the fuse in the power lead in case a surge had knocked that out (although unlikely since the PC is connected to a surge-protected 6-way mains extension) - this didn't do anything.
So after a couple of weeks I got a new power supply - got a 550W jobby which ticked all the boxes for my requirements. Fitted that and tried to fire up but still not even a cough or a splutter (no activity what-so-ever).
So it's back to the drawing board AGAIN (see previous posts for my tale of woes) - The motherboard is now the 4th MSi Neo 2 Platinum motherboard that has been used in this rig - I've always stuck with the same one because my HDDs are in RAID 0 configuration and I don't want to lose the data on them (I know I should have it backed up but I cba backing up 320gb of videos onto 4.4Gb DVD-Rs!).
I'm litterally at the end of my tether with this rig - it's been nothing but problematic apart from the 6 months prior to this current problem.
Any advice on what might be the problem and resolutions would be much appreciated. Thank you.
