System Problems

[AKS\/\/ulfe]

Couple things to try: Reset the BIOS.

If that doesn't work, unplug the main power connection to the motherboard, press the power button the PC case, unplug the power supply from the wall socket, reconnect the motherboard power cables, plug the PS back into the wall and try powering on the system again.

I've had troubles like you describe before, the fans would come on with the HDD activity light- but nothing would actually power up. Doing the above, the system would work again.

I'm pretty sure it was due to a faulty surge protector, replaced it and haven't had the problem since.

Ghosth, I'd try re-seating the CPU in the socket.

Did the reset bios thing, no change.
Tried changing power supply to differnt source, no change. Tried following your directions to the letter, no change.  

banana, doubt thats it but I'll try it anyway

Good news is I heard from the Mwave.com people. Bad news is they asking the things I've already tried.

Good news, after trading emails for day & half with mwave tech support. I just got off the phone with customer service.

Because I bought it as a bundle, they will take mboard, cpu & mem back as a bundle. They will then test, fix, & ship working bundle back to me.



Now the hard part is just the wait.

Thanks for all the help & ideas guys!

That *IS* good news.

I was only going to offer one last solution- to see if your mobo or your CPU was done, take the CPU from your working PC and place it in your dead one.

But since they'll test and replace anything thats bad, let them deal with that labor.

Got an email today, its on its way back to me as of late last night.  

Got to love a company that not only sells top stuff at great prices, but stands behind em also.

I'd have to say they are right behind HTC for tech/customer service.
