Quite dead PC....
Hello All.
I have a three year old Mesh desktop PC. Today the PC booted normally but then ground to a halt at the login screen. Restarted using the on/off switch on the front of the PC (as no response to anything else)....then....
The PC hardware powers up (fans etc), internal lights come on, the hard disk light comes on for about 20 sec then goes out and stays out, the hard disk spins up but there's no POST screen, no BIOS beeps and no video output, so it doesn't seem to be getting even as far as POST.
I've tested the power supply and get a stable 5.16v and 12.12v, so unless I've missed one, it looks ok.
The cooling fan heat sink over the CPU was chocker with fluff...I've got a feeling the CPU might be cooked or the ASUS motherboard has turned up its toes.
Anyone got any other suggestions before I.....and I can barely type the words......pay someone to fix it?
Thanks all!!
