Dear all expert...
Now i'm really need favor...i discovered that my computer perhaps
have a short circuit...it was something like burst upon my power supply..
and i know taht this time i relly have a big problem...

I ,ve disassemble all hardaware and i found

my hard disk is burnt...at the chip
my ram ok..cd drive ok....
processors and graphic card not sure...

I've tested all the hardware in other motherboard...unfortunately
i can't test processors and graphic card because different socket and
no AGP slots....

I tried another steps....to make sure that my M/board still function...
using othe p/supply I see that the LED is active...is that mean its ok...
and then i put back the processors...and graphic card...when
i Start the button...the fan is running..like usual...is that mean that is ok too...but the problem the display doesn't appear.........that really KO

now i' confused what actually is broken.....is my procedure is right...
I'm really need your favor....
What SHOULD I do

If you can, take your video card and processor to a computer shop, or anyone else who has the hardware to test it. It's probably the only way you're going to know if it is bad. Lights and fans don't always mean that everything works. Once you know you have good video, you can test further. Test your power supply also.

I think you have done well so far to learn what you have, but don't be too surprised to find out that you need new everything. Good luck. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif
