hello all

my asus p4c 800e-deluxe may have died. i switched off my pc normally last
night, and this morning there is no green light on the mobo when i switch on,
and no activity/sounds whatsoever. ive listened closely to the power supply
and there is a faint sound of electricity passing through, so im assuming its
not that.

thanks
 
connectors from your PSU to the MOBO are ok? Test the PCs power lead with
something else (monitor eg)?

Open the case and see if there is a green light on the motherboard. You
might have to borrow another power supply to test the system. Failing that
you might have to take it to a competent technician.
 
hi

having a clear side panel i can already see that the usual green light is
NOT on. i assume im in trouble?!.....

What sound does electricity make when it "passes through"???

Is the P/S fan blowing air??
 
the sound is a very quiet zzzzzzzzz. actually no, the psu fan is not blowing
air.... thanks.

Swap out the power supply for a known-working one because that is a
cheap and easy troubleshooting step. If that doesn't solve the issue,
your motherboard is dead.

Replace the power supply and see if that does it.
