How to confirm mobo died?

[AudiR8]

Hi Experts,

I was using my desktop and suddenly the screen went black, no sounds or BSOD before that. When I cold boot it again, I see the power lights come on but no longer hear the POST beep sounds I usually hear. Does this mean that my mobo died? Thanks for any advice.

List down the parts of your rig. Also, could be a bad PSU. Got spare PSU?

Hi Alternative X,

Thanks for the reply, no spare PSU, but I see the LED on the Mobo and GPU card lighted can still be PSU prob?
My specs below:

CPU: i5 750 @ 2.67 Ghz
Mobo: EVGA P55 SLI LE E653
PSU: Andyson F550
Memory: DDR3 4 GB
Graphics Card: Sapphire 7870

Got light but no sound from mobo?
Usually PC won't boot
1) GPU
2) RAM
3) CPU
Usually there will be Sound from Mobo Internal Speakers

4) MOBO
Got light and fans running but no display.
Usually MOBO bios chui liao.

Thanks for the reply, BIOS chiu, can be fixed by changing the BIOS battery?

Also if confirm chui, can recommend me a suitable replacement mobo? Gam siaz!

Any suggestion on replacement mobo which will fit my existing processor?

 

[Elijahonli]

Try the marketplace. Any p55 board would be a suitable replacement

Thanks for the reply, can't find any in market place. Can I just change the mobo and cpu combo while retaining the rest of the hardware? i.e. RAM, GPU, casing And if so what would be a bang for buck upgrade? I am looking at max $300.

Take out your rams and clean the gold contacts with a soft eraser and re-sit the rams again. Try different slot also.

Hi Alvin, RAM error should give a beep code correct?

my 5 yrs old motherboard spoilt, power light on but cannot go into BIOS, suspect motherboard is faulty, check the board and saw some bloated capacitors at io panel.
