Hi. Got me new board and core 2 duo. All was fine. Done a windows update and now it doesnt. I switch it on but nothing is coming on the display. All fans are on. Is my g card knacked or is there away i can make it work. I have unplugged the stuff and re seated all but nothing still. Has a update bugger ed my system and how do i get it back
Can you get into safe mode and use System Restore?
did you do a fresh install of windows when you changed the motherboard etc?
You owe it to yourself to click here really.Originally Posted by Blitzen
Yes fresh instal. Win updated then the thing wont post even the bios screen. Have reset the c mos to. Power flowing through although an piercing sound coming from p s u.
Can you post all of the specifications of the new system, especially the PSU with the piercing noise coming from it.
A c w t 450 wt p s u. As rock dual v motherboard e6300 duo 1 gig g e i l value 3200 ram. 1 40 gig h d 1 sata 160 gig drive 9800 pro 128 mb card. 2 dvd drives.
I'm not familiar with that PSU. Can you find the manufacturers info and post a link. Also, I would not power it on again since it is squealing. Is it a VERY high pitched sound like a wonky television or, is it the internal fan hitting something inside the PSU?

I cant post as on my mobile. The noise is not massively load and stops when the machine powers up. It makes the noise when its switched on at the on p s u button
Anything other than fan noise from a PSU is BAD. RMA the PSU and don't power it on any more, you could damage other components if it fails catastrophically.
Its about 2 years old. Is it the p s u then as it was working fine before the windows update. I suppose i could try a new supply unit. But more expense if its a board problem. It just dont make sense
A Windows update will not cause your power supply to fail. It's your gear but I would NEVER use a PSU that is making a noise like that. As I said, it can blow up (literally) and the resulting power discharge can damage your MOBO, CPU, memory, GPU, etc. Do you have a local PC shop that could test the PSU for you?
I have but my mate is going to try and get one from work and i have my old next door neighbour who has a pc business so i will see him to
Ok. Not the psu but i have got a new one. I think its the graphics card but wont know until tomorrow probably. Its annoying as i hope it has not screwed my new system up. I did put old mobo back in but same so i think my card must have blown as power still getting to it
