GA-P55-USB3 hangs at bios post screen

[ABully]

Personally I wouldn't put the cheapo Coolermaster one in an old machine

suggest me a decent one..........

Personally I like the Corsair models. Seasonic also make some nice ones. Just don't buy a cheap one and expect it to perform well.

[ABully]

ok.......will check for corsair or seasonic...........

Thanks a lot guys .............off for now..........

I have deleted my above post because its not the right one its the CORSAIR CX400 sorry about that.

Corsair have made an absolute mess of the CX430 when compared to CX400 I really can't believe they did that.

The CX400 is a better PSU then the CX430.

Guys........ no luck........ got a new gigabyte psu (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817233010) installed it ..............but the boot wont go beyond the bios post screen.......... the keyboard is also killed after  flashing on power up........... is the mobo dead? or is it the cpu? or is it the ram?........... dunno what to do............

[Dark Mantis]

Calm down is the first thing. What PSU did you get? Sorry just noticed it in your post. Are you sure that you have inserted all the power leads including the CPU 12v?

I got a gigabyte sperb series psu, tried just booting the system with mobo, cpu, cooler, ram and display card....... same old situation.......... no movement after bios post screen and the keyboard is killed......... i cant even enter bios setup........... yes the atx and cpu power is connected along with power and restart jumpers of the case

Seems like a decent PSU and should last you for a while without having to worry. Right well the only way we are going to get to the bottom of this is top go right back to basics.I think the best thing is to remove the motherboard from the case and then connect it up on the desktop (on some cardboard or similar). All you want to start with is the PSU, motherboard, CPU/heatsink/fan and the buzzer. When you have done that try and POST. Obviously it won't complete but it should give some beeps.

It is late now so I am going to bed but will be back in the morning to continue.

Well I guess you  broke something when moving wires around.

[ABully]

i hve already done it...........removed the mobo and placed it on a cardboard box with the cpu, ram and video card connected, still the same old situation......... and one thing guys........... my case doesnt have a speaker.......... so cant hear any beeps.............

[ABully]

Well I guess you  broke something when moving wires around.

i didnt touch the mobo when i was reconnecting the case fan........ as i said earlier all i did was connect the case fan wire from psu to the case fan controller.........

Anyway can u help me troubleshoot this thing now???

[Peteruk]

Or maybe that cheap fan controller on the case killed it.

[ABully]

u mean killed the mobo, cpu or the ram?? how do i know which is the faulty one now?

[ABully]

i think its the ram........... see this post
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/267346-12-ud4p-hangs-post

its the same scenario for me...........i dont have any other ram to test so will have to take it to office tom morning and try a different ram..........

[Peteruk]

Who knows what its done but you did say the system was shocking with static electricity which I guess you mean you touch the case and you got a shock? If you'd of used the PSU that you got now it might of tripped an overload protection feature.

With an luck its just taken out the mobo...do you see any burn makes?

You can try clearing CMOS but it might not fix this...
