K8N Neo 2 Platinum Computer just...stopped working! Help needed please.

Hey all. About hmm, a month ago I built myself a new PC (first time I'd done it from scratch and got some useful help here) Specs were:
MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum, A64 3200+ Venice, 1GB DDR Corsair Value, Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb, 40GB Hard Disk IDE, 80GB Hard Disk IDE, CD R/RW Drive and a Tagan 420W (23A 12V+) PSU.
Ok, it worked the day I built it just fine and has NO hick-ups or any indication of a problem for the past month. Running temperature was very cool etc. Now, I last turned it on about 24 hrs ago, downloaded some PDF files, shut it down. All was fine. Woke up this morning. Pressed the power button: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. ZIp. No hum, fan movement, anything.
Now, considering it seems to have broken whilst being turned off. What could be the problem? So far I've tried:
    * Using a different power socket
    * Using a different plug
    * Reconnecting the power switch and motherboard power connectors
None of those worked. There wasn't a thunderstorm or anything so I don't think any kind of surge would have been the problem. I havn't tried manually shorting the power switch connectors. What's a safe way to do that? Any other suggestions? How can I test my PSU is infact doing something?
Thanks

Try the easy way first, disconnect every cable from the back of the computer. Do a CMOS clear/normal as instructed in the manual. Connect the display(with power off), keyboard and power cable. Turn on PSU, press power switch, if it fires up, press and go into bios and do your settings, save and exit. Power off and connect the rest of your external stuff. Power up.

No luck :( Is it likely that my PSU has fused/broken in some way since I'm getting no response or fan movement?

  • On both my desktop and notebook, sync just stops working and needs to be set up again! Although my account is still there ?

    On both my desktop and notebook, sync just stops working and needs to be set up again! Although my account is still there ?
    I have windows 7 on both computers and I use the paid version of Roboform (which does not encounter any problems!) So, I really need my sync to work and keep working. Please help......

    Do you mean that after closing the browser your Sync set up is gone and you need to Set it up again?
    This is, generally, because your privacy settings are too restrictive and you are deleting the password of your Sync account.
    You can modify this in the Privacy tab of your Preferences/Options window. Select Remember History or Use Custom Settings in the drop down to configure the level that you want.

  • Can not connect the iTunes Store, since the last update 2 weeks ago, iOS 6.1.2 has stopped working, help me, please ....

    can not connect the iTunes Store, since the last update 2 weeks ago, iOS 6.1.2 has stopped working, help me, please ....

    Ok, I am having literally identical issues with Marathon Max.
    I try to connect, and it says, "Itunes could not connect to the itunes store, Make sure your network connection is active and try again." I have contacted my ISP, and they ran a full check, and sayed I should be able to connect to pretty much all websites. I did the whole "ipconfig" thing and that was no help. I also tried the "msconfig" thing, and it sayed it did not recognize it as any kind of command, internal or external command or operable program or batch file. Whats strange is I can connect from another computer just fine, but when offered to upgrade itunes I declined for fear of the same thing happpening. I am tempted to just upgrade it and thus demonstrate that itunes has a flaw in their upgrade. I will save this computers diagnostics, and the other one's too, before and after the upgrade. I look forward to sending more feedback regarding this matter

  • My computer just stops working sometimes.

    Hello, About 2 times a day when i'm using my computer it will just stop working. It will not close anything i have open, but it will not enable me to use them. For example ill be listening to Pandora on my desktop and Google chrome(and explorer) will stop
    playing the music and will just sit there. I close the window and try to open it again, and it lights up on the task bar like its about to open, then it just slowly fades and never opens. At this point i go for the restart button and sometimes that does not
    work, and i cant access anything so i'm forced to hold the power button then it works for a while after that. Please help me, this is getting very frustrating.

  • Airport Extreme Card just stopped working -help!!

    I've had my MacBook Pro since mid August with a built Airport Extreme Card. It has for most of the time been working fine with my Netgear router. Yesterday it just stopped working. The black bars aren't showing on the aiport, it keeps refusing to accept the WEP password.
    I have tried switching the airport on and off, and have also switched off the router and re started it, all to no avail. The WEP password is correct.
    I have a WIFI printer connection and the airport will not connect to that either.
    This has happened once before about 6 weeks ago but I can't remember what I did, if anything, to remedy the situation.
    I have 3 other laptops all working perfectly well on the system, and all printing from the printer without any problems.
    Any suggestions before I and the laptop go hurtling through the first floor window?

    Try resetting your MBP's PRAM ...
    Reset the PRAM
    o Shut down the computer.
    o Turn on the computer.
    o Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    o Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    o Release the keys.

  • Airport Extreme 7.6.1 WiFi just stopped working, HELP!

    Hi all,
    not sure what is going on, but my Airport Extreme running 7.6.1 just stopped working over wifi. My desktop PC is wired to the Airport and it is running fine on the internet. My iOS devices, however (iPhone 4 and iPad 1) just won't work over wifi. My wife's blackberry is also not working over wifi.
    I am running AirPort utility on the iPad and it can find and manage the AirPort base, but it says internet is not working (orange dot) which is not true, as I am typing this post on the PC wired to the AirPort.
    I have tried to reload the AP to no avail. Have also tried to reload the iOS devices, to no avail.
    What should I do? Seems like the bridge connection between the wifi network and the Ethernet port just died.
    On a side note, 7.6.1 seems to be very unstable, my PS3 connection drops constantly, which never happened before. Can you point me to a more stable release?
    Persio

    Try restoring the factory settings of the AirPort Express and delete all profiles
    you have set:
    1 Unplug the AirPort Express.
    2 With the tip of a straightened paper clip to hold the reset button while
    plug the AirPort Express.
    Wait until the status light stops blinking and then restart the base station.

  • Computer just stops working

    So this happens maybe 4 or 5 times a day.. I'll just be doing work, or surfing the internet, or whatever, and then the computer just completely freezes, no mouse movement, no keyboard action, nothing, I've even left it over night to see if it will respond and nothing happened. I've sent a diagnostic to Apple, I've upgraded to 10.5.4 and nothing seems to work, has any body got any ideas what it could be?

    Hi!
    You may have a separate hardware test disc that came with the computer. If not use the install disc 1 and hold the option key down at startup to bring up bootable volumes one of which should be the hardware test. Holding the "c" key down at startup with a hardware test disc inserted should boot from it but sometimes holding the "d" key down is necessary. Your manual that came with your computer will be helpful in deciding which method you need to use. Tom

  • My nokia c6-01 is stopped working , help me please

    When I'm updating my c6-01 to nokia belle the USB was disconnected and the mobile stopped working what can I do?

    Hey Mohammedraad, Welcome to the Nokia Forums.
    Its now no longer turning on at all? or Is it now not even being recognised by the computer?
    If it has completely turned off, please try take your battery out for a few minutes and then re-insert it, and see if it starts up.
    If it is no longer being recognised by the computer please go into your control panel, device manager and forget your device. Then replug it in.
    Let me know how if it works or not and I can help you further.

  • X205-S9810 Computer just stopped working No beeps just black screen

    Yesterday my laptop which was running just fine, went to sleep and I couldn't revive it.  When I turn it on the fans start, the hard drive initializes then stops, the DVD starts and stops then the fans turn off and that's it.  Black screen the entire time.  Battery or AC Adapter makes no difference.  The clock light flashes amber then red.  I always have the AC Adapter plugged in. 
    I don't understand what could have happened I was using the machine just a few hours before.
    I am an experienced builder and I am comfortable doing just about anything with hardware but this one has me puzzled.
    Help please I need me computer back.
    Thanks

    Try:
    - Another cable
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                 
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My computer just stopped working... urgent help needed please!

    Hello all...
    Strangest thing just happened, and I'm on a pretty tight deadline.
    Powermac G5, dual 2.0. This morning the computer was working just fine. I left for a couple hours, came back, pressed the mouse to bring it out of sleep, and there was no display on either of my monitors.
    I forced a shutdown, and restarted thinking it was just a fluke... but once I restarted, no picture on either monitor. The monitor says there is no signal coming in from the computer.
    Everything sounds normal with the machine, so I tried turning up the volume from the keypad, but didn't hear anything. Tried ejecting the superdrive; nothing.
    Like I said, everything SOUNDS normal upon startup, and it even came out of sleep mode when I hit the mouse (I heard it startup), but I'm getting no response of any kind and no video out. HELP?
    Any ideas here? I'm right in the middle of an editing project, and I HAVE to have it finished by Monday (it's friday right now).
    Thanks for any and all advice.

    OK, after input from another forum, I ordered a new video card thinking it would solve the issue.
    Just installed it, and my computer is still not working. Everything starts up and sounds fine, but I have no signal to the monitors, and no keyboard response.
    I tried starting in "firewire target mode" to my laptop, and it did not work.
    I took out my main hard drive, connected it to my laptop via USB, and it works fine.
    So... it's not the hard drive, not the video card... what else could be going wrong here?

  • My command z key just stopped working -HELP

    Please help. I was working in InDesign CC and hit the Command z key. Everything froze. I had to restart and now command z doesn't work.

    Just noticed my iMAC finder preferences are not working as well.
    Does it sound like a MAC or Adobe issue?
    I am not an IT person, just a simple designer. It takes me forever to get my preferences set. I have just started using my iMAC and Adobe CC since purchasing Dec. 2013. Looks like I should have stayed with good ole CS3.

  • 5 ghz just stopped working - help

    I've been running my original 1 TB Time Capsule connected to my cable modem in n only 5ghz for months.
    I have Airport Extreme connected in another room connected to a couple of HP printers so we can print wirelessly.
    And lastly an original Airport Express connected to the Time Capsule via ethernet cable to have g available for our iPhones.
    All has been working flawlessly for months.
    Today I closed my MacBook Pro and went out. Hours later I came back and opened my computer and it didn't seen the Time Capsule n. It wasn't even showing up in my Airport Menu. I could see the Airport Express g fine. And could connect and surf the web fine. But the Time Capsule was nonexistent as far as my computer was concerned.
    So I restarted everything. Nothing. So I did a soft reset of the TC. Nothing. So I did a hard reset and reconfigured. Nothing.
    So out of the only left to do was to set the TC in n only mode at 2.4 ghz. And my MacBook Pro sees the TC fine in 2.4 ghz. But in 5 ghz the TC is invisible. Even though this has been working fine and fast for many months.
    Any ideas? Why 5 ghz only would not work? Why 2.4 n only works?
    I'm at a loss. Could the 5ghz band "break"? But 2.4 ghz be fine?
    Thanks.

    My original time capsules 5GHz radio died about a month ago. It was out of warranty, so I'm using my airport express for the 5GHz band.
    I don't think the radios in the TC are very good.
