Hi,

my system config is:
AMD athlon 64 bit 3000
MSI motherboard 939 socket RS480
Transcend DDR RAM 512+256
OS is Windows XP 64 bit

i was playing FIFA 06 on my PC and it hung.
When i rebooted the machine it displayed all the bios config and stuck at Boot From CD and diidn't proceed further.
I just took out the 256 RAM and the system was up again.
Just u test it I started with FIFA again and this time the system switched Off automatically.
Now it doesn't boot up. It does start at all, not even the fans.

I have no idea what the problem is.
 
Check the wiring for your Power/Reset buttons.

Could be a faulty PSU too - try disconnecting the PSU from your setup and test if the PSU turns on by shorting pins 14 & 15.

99.99% its the onboard GPU, give it a few hours before you decied to fireup your PC again, make sure you reset the BIOS.

In case you guys didnt know, ATI GPUs have the ability to shut down and revieve themselves(something like the terminator) ... lol
 
well unless u say what kind of GPU u using , cant say anything....even i had this problem .la8er i diagnosed it to be my gpu heating up too much ....

tried the following things
1. resetting the bios
2. shorting the power supply pins
3. swapping RAMs

none of these work

I am using an on board ATI GPU for ur information
Any other suggestions
 
LOL
Yeah, but usually no one is willing to spend effort on the "right one".
Best one deals with the problem (atleast for the time being), and comes at the cost of virtually no effort.
:p
