Any way to tell apart a CPU defect from a mainboard defect?
- by Pekka
I have a fairly modern desktop computer, an AMD Athlon II X2 based silent PC, that does not work.
When turned on, it will start physically (all fans are rotating, disks start up...) but not give a signal on any of the graphics ports (DVI, VGA, and HDMI, I tried all three). Also, the reset button does not seem to have any effect.
I have stripped…
