[QUOTE="Sanjeet Arora, post: 1135556, member: 29882"] I'm experiencing the following issue with my computer:- When i switch it on, there was no display! In the quest to figure out the faulty part i started troubleshooting. I came up with the following conclusions:- 1. Display:- Working fine. Connected it to my laptop as external monitor. 2. SMPS:- It seems to be working fine because it turned powered up the dvd-rom. I've also checked the voltages, its giving the correct output. 3. RAM:- I have two sticks. Tried with both of them individually, none worked. Both of them can't stop working at the same time. 4. Processor:- Haven't checked it yet. When i press the power button, the processor fan starts rotating. 5. Hdd:- Doesn't matter. Weird issue:- 6. Motherboard:- When i connect any peripheral device eg. the ide cable of dvd rom to the motherboard, the dvd rom does not power up, although i can see that the motherboard is on because the green light on it glows up and the processor fan starts. As soon as i detach the dvd rom's cable from the motherboard it powers up! On the Chasis:- Only the green power led is on, not the hdd led even when the hdd is connected. Even when i disconnect the hdd its the same. I myself have concluded that the motherboard is faulty but I may be wrong. So pour in your suggestions so that i can work on my computer again.:hap2:. Thank you for reading. EDIT: I opened up my cabinet yesterday. There was enormous amount of dust in it! So much that the entire RAM stick was covered with dust :ashamed:. Can this be the reason?
