buckdog05 Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 I have tried using different video cards and I have also tried moving the ram to different slots (DDR2). One strange thing is that the computer also does not seem to be going through the normal boot process, as I can't hear it "thinking," and the lights on my PS/2 keyboard won't come on (although my PS/2 Optical Mouse does light up)When I turn it on, however, all of the lights and fans come on and the CD drive opens like usual.Any thoughts, or is the motherboard shot?Thanks!

buckdog05 Posted November 26, 2008 Author Posted November 26, 2008 I just plugged the PSU into a tester, and all the lights came on except the "-5v" light. The tester didn't beep, however. Does this mean that the PSU is bad?
