Motherboard Basics :: Reply by mtptl11
What is the motherboard doing (or not doing)? Is it totally refusing to
power up? If so, try stripping it down to the bare minimum: motherboard,
CPU+heatsink, RAM, power supply, graphics card, video cable to monitor.
That means no hard drive, no floppy drive, no cables, no keyboard, no
mouse, no PCI cards, etc. If you can, take the motherboard out of the
case and put it on a flat, nonconducting surface, like a piece of
cardboard or a wooden table.
Connect the power cables to the motherboard, but do not connect the 50
million little connectors to the case. Locate the two pins on the
motherboard that connect to the case power button. Instead of connecting
the power button cable to those pins, touch the head of a screwdriver to
those pins. That will take the place of the power button for now.
If the computer still does not start, try removing and reinstalling the
CPU, RAM, and graphics card. It could be that one of those is loose.
Now that the computer is out of the case, you should have easy access to
those sockets.
