[mobo] motherboard dead???

[Damsianla]

My rig cannot boot at all.. open up and saw the cpu cooler fan not working, tried plugging the fan to another rig and fan can run.

So I suspect is motherboard problem.. any other ways to test it out?

Btw my graphic card and everything else is running perfectly

Is casing fans running when you power up? If no, maybe dead PSU.

Biostar mobo can last 4 years is super good liao, time for a complete good rig.

So jialat ah? I thot the price difference from Asrock only like $10 to $20 only? Reliability so different?

Emm the usual life span of a motherboard is around 3-5 years.

Time to RMA already. Most likely its dead.

Oh wait... No more warranty...

Just get a new rig liao.

Think its time to build a new rig then... think all those working parts quite a waste... must think how to utilise it

You need the followings:
1. cpu
2. motherboard
3. ram
4. new power supply
