Hi,
My Girlfriend's son's computer died earlier today. I wasn't in at the time but he said he heard a crackle (but can't tell it was from the speakers or the pc itself) and windows froze and he reset the pc but it wouldn't work..
When i tested it, the heatsink fan was working, the psu seemed active, it 'sounded' (ie whirring and usually fan noises) like the computer was booting up as normal but i can't get anything from the graphics card to tell me what the hell is going on - i replaced the graphics card and still no picture. No beep to tell me that its even booting to BIOS..
I dunno if this means the mobo / processor is fried and dunno how i can tell..
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Paul
