OK, I was browsing some web pages for about 20 minutes after switching on my computer. It has a P4 2.8 800FSB, ASUS P4C800, 1GB DDR400, 2 HD`s, 1CDROM, 7 case fans and a radeon 9800 pro.
I was running this on a 350W PSU for about just over a week, with no problems at all. All of a sudden, my screen gets coloured dots and patterns running down it, so I quickly turn off the PC. I switch it back on and my screen has a thin pinkish tint down the right side of it, but I turn off my monitor and put it back on and alls well.
Thats not all though. Now, I turn on my new computer and it just doesnt go into the BIOS at all, nor does the display go on. I take out all 7 fans, 1HD and it still doesnt work. The CPU fan seems to spin in a slower "sleep" type speed from the moment I press on, plus the graphics card fan sounds different.
I take out the power supply, the graphics card and try these with the RAM too, in an old 2700+ XP system and they work fine (I`m using this now)
Do you think that the ASUS motherboard has been damaged somehow, by the PSU lack of power? This has been running on this though for over a week...Plus this same PSU works in my older 2700+ system...
I just cant figure out if it just needs more power to go on, or if the motherboard/processor is screwed. I also tried taking out the CMOS battery for over an hour, plus I reset the CMOS jumper for 30 mins. But nothing is working.
Oh, and my xaser 3 case has a "Thermaltake" sign down the front that lights up when you put the computer on, but it seems to flicker also now...
Any ideas?
