Well I though I would give it a shot posting here since no other computer or help forum seems to come up with any results. So here goes.
About six months ago my motherboard on my desktop computer went dead suddenly. It was on one minute, I left it to eat dinner (no more than 15 min) I came back and it was off and would not boot up. Basically it came down to me RMAing the board to ASUS and they replaced it. However, they didnt give me any reason as to why it had failed. The packing slip simply said it was defective. Well 6 months later (almost to the day) the same thing has happened. The only sign of life is the green led on in the motherboard when the power supply is connected.
I have ruled out the power supply because I have switched it and it works in other computers. I have also tried starting it with only the motherboard and powersupply but to no avail. I also doubt it is the temperature since I installed a monitoring program from the last time this happened. The temp seemed normal whenever I checked it and the computer has been behaving normally until this happened. Nothing seems to work. I am hoping maybe someone here will be able to offer some insight into what is going on.
My system specs:
Motherboard: K8N-E Deluxe
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3000+
VGA: Asus NVIDIA n6600 256 mb
Memory: Corsair xms pc3200 1 gigabyte
So any help would be greatly appreciated.
