    Not Booting???

     
    Hi all , My sisters rig has a Lucky star k7vat mobo , She was using it daily and this morning turned it on and it wont boot at all..
    No video card detected , no bios , just a black screen.

    Also there is hd activity for a second and then it goes silent and the red led on the case is staying on (No activity)..

    Also i put in a different video card sort of knowing it would not fix it , and it did not..

    Is the MOBO's days over..

    Cheers
    Maty..

    Remove everything possible. Get down to 1 stick of ram, cpu, video card..no keyboard or mouse etc. turn it on...still no video?..once again, retry a different video card...still nothing?.. the board or cpu is probably dead.

    In the past 2 years or so, the motherboard manufacturers bought trainloads of defective capacitors..motherboards have been failing right and left ever since.
