Re: Turned off PC one night working fine. Next time try...
Have you tried booting it from yor CD drive with bootable software?
Any led flashing anywhere in the computer?
If not, we are talking about energy problem. Try fitting the energy cord firmly, try connecting the battery charger in a different power outlet.
what is the request? You made a statement re: hdd.
Tried new hard drive first. Even w/o a hard drive, machine should bring up BIOS and display of BIOS on monitor. Doesnt. Hooked to several monitors so not monitor either.
Tried windows CD to boot to.
Mobo light on motherboard.
No energy problems.
Eliminated mobo, hdd, power supply, memory. All good/new.
Sorry, I did state what was done already in the original. Maybe original is not showing so I will paste it here again:
Turned off PC one night working fine. Next time try to use, PC wont boot. No video display, no bios, no posts, nothing.
Gateway Desktop GT 5464 w/ integrated video, Intel E2140 Processor, Intel 945GC Mobo.
Replaced Mobo with new; tested memory, memory tests normal; replaced power supply w/ new; changed out hdd. Still same: PC wont boot. No video display, no bios, no posts, nothing.
It is my understanding with a problem like this, according to Intel and other online forums, that if you take the mobo out of the case and put on foam pad, hook up only power supply, processor, memory one should get something displayed on the monitor re: BIOS. I do not. The only thing I cant change out w/ new is the processor. If there is a test to check the processor I will do it, but I dont know what.
Not hdd. Have posted back and no activity. Just close since no one is READING what I post.
Why not try the premium question post?
suggest u try to state what you have done already so i don't waste your time with useless answers. the hard drive is ok then, u have installed a new one?? THE POWER SUPPLY IS GOOD?
sounds like u have lost the hard drive
