What is wrong with my computer? >no display >fans and shit

bumb

>sometimes when I knocked computer ":D" or kept it in certain position I got display (no anymore, but back then it worked on this problem)
The wires in your display cable might be broken. Your physical display port may be broken.
Or, very rarely, you might have positioned your computer next to a megawatt antenna or nuclear reactor.

If your motherboard has onboard graphics, try taking out your card and using onboard. Maybe you can leech a VGA cable from someone or somewhere and see if changing the cable makes a difference.

If you're competent enough you could also boot into a linux live USB without display and send all output to your printer instead of a screen.

All other options cost money, although a second-hand shitty GPU should be bugetable.

Okay, my bad, I was meaning it doesn't boot at all.
Board doesn't have onboard graphics, but I think I should check the wires, ty for that. I'm thinking I'm going to just buy some second hand mobo, because according to some sources stand by mode led indicates to dead mobo.

I have this board here, and I know it fairly well. What does the diagnostic LED display when you start, and at what digits does it stop?

>Okay, my bad, I was meaning it doesn't boot at all.
Dafuq do you mean then? It boots (how do you know?) but without displaying anything on your monitor? Then your graphics card or slot is broken.

It doesn't show any digits.
>I was meaning it doesn't boot at all.
According to my poor English skills that sentence implicates that it does NOT boot, which is the case.

My poor eyesight read that wrong, I apologize. I read that as "...I WASN'T meaning..." for some reason.
No digits are a very terrible sign. Chances that your board is fucked are high.
If you have the rare E759 version of the board, then you should have the ECP bundled, which you can use like another diagnostics LED. Try that if you can, if not, you can only remove parts to find out what is wrong.
Like, use a different cable as suggested, remove all RAM modules except one, use another cheap $10 CPU,...
These boards are still crazy expensive, they can go for $200 with accessories, so I'd try to replace that last unless you are planning on switching the entire platform anyway.

I actually have E759 version, and I tried diagnostics with ECP. Didn't show any digits, though. I already tried different cables and removing RAMs, no effect. I'll try to get CPU and GPU from somewhere and try if it clears anything. Thanks for tips.

If noth diagnostic LEDs and ECP do not show anything, chances are extremely high your board is dead.
Such a shame, there are not a lot of these E759 left...

Take all your ram sticks out and switch their positions.Make sure you get em back in well till they are tightly fitting in place.

Since your board is probably dead, remember that E759 accessories are still sought after before you trash anything, especially the ECP and its cable. You'll probably get $10+ for that.

Yeah I too think that it's the end of the road of that motherboard. It's still nice to hear that these accessories are worth something, I do have some other parts also along the ECP.
Btw, just thinking more or less jokingly, what is usually the reason why mobos get dead? Could there be any hardcore things to do?

>>266104
Already tried, no effect.

Most of the time a cap blows, which you would usually smell and see. Other than that, physical damage or wear on the printed circuits. For example because someone slipped with a screwdriver. And in rare cases because of too high voltages, but most voltages on X58 are bad for your CPU in high doses, and are less deadly for your board.

For example, if you were to run 1.7V QPI pll, 1.6V IOH or 1.8Vtt for a long time, your board might die. But chances are most CPUs would die before that.

>most CPUs would die before that.
I assume we've tried with a known-good CPU and not just jumped the gun?

>>266739
I don't think OP did, but I've never had both onboard LED and ECP not showing anything on a working board.Dead CPu should just get into a loop at 55/57/C0 or similar.

Well, there do you live, OP? Maybe someone can lend you a cheap 1366 CPU.

>>266751
Yeah I'll try to find one and been thinking also about trying another PSU, just for lulz.

>>267021
Well, completely dead mobo is a classic symptom of no +5VSB.

You can test that with a PSU tester or a multimeter though.
