computer brand: Acer aspire e380
motherboard: Stock ESC with onboard graphics (important to note this)
Ram: 3gb Kinston 3 sticks
processor: umm i can tell you that its a daul core something..
PCIE: nvida gforce 8400? gt 500mb onboard ram
PCI: lan card
power supply: 350W
HD: SATA 360gb RPM: unknown atm
Screens: two, 1 acer 21" LCD and 1 CRT monitor very old...
O.S.: Windows VIsta home premium 32bit
Problem: will not display anything on monitors, no bios screen and definatly no windows screen, its not just staying black no power is going to the monitor at all. USB 2.0 ports arnt supplying power to my keyboard or mouse.
Troubleshooting done: Iv switched the power supply out with three others a 360W a brandnew 500W and a brandnew 400W and still have the same problem, iv tried removing everything (ram, graphics card, harddrive, CR/DVD RWR drive, and card readers) still had the same issue, installed one ram stick at a time for 4 different sticks still same problem, took fan off cpu, pulled cpu and reset it, same problem, unpluged all cords that plug into the motherboard except power, still have the same problem.
My conclusion: so iv narrowed it down to this.. either my Mother board is fried or my CPU, i have no way of testing either of the two as i do not have a spar of either, any ideas? oh and iv inspected everyone of the components and they all still look brand new, no discolorations lose components, and the cpu looked brand-new when i pulled it to reset..
It may help you to know that when i turn the pc on fans kick on, HD vibrates as usual, CD drive boots as usual, but still no visual and no USB power. im stumped.
EDIT: i tried removing graphics card and using my onboard vga aswell. still didnt work. also no beeping at all. and HD wont spool up it just starts to but RPMs dont increase its pretty much steady.
