Power Supply IS OK?

If so then check the Electrolytic Capacitors on the motherboard,

SOURCE: Compaq Presario 4400us

Either the new power supply you purchased is not functioning correctly. But, assuming it is now that you are getting some form of power to your PC, it is very likely the motherboard. Whatever fried your old power supply (or it could have just been the power supply itself) most likely fried your motherboard in the process. Probably not the CPU since the MB can't even post.

SOURCE: Intel D865PERLL Motherboard will not power up

Hi nkda2000, this is as close as I could find for power schematics. Intel D865PERL
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/D865PERL/sb/CS-027143.htm

(There is no Intel D865PERLL board). Sure it's a typo. Have done searches for D865PERLL & found it (Not on Intle's web site) but when looking at the specs it's listed as D865PERL. (One L ) not two.

I hope the Technical Product Specification pdf can help you check the power on the motherboard.

Luck!

SOURCE: Power supply Ok.But CPU fans started with seconds It's stop.

sounds to me like your mainboard is bad, i bet if you closely inspect the capacitors around the cpu one or more is bulged out or leaking

SOURCE: System will not start up. Cpu fan spins once, then nothing.

It is more than likely that when your old power supply died a death, it damaged some components on the motherboard. Replace the Motherboard and chip, and you should be back in business. You can pick up some good value bundles to save money on buying the parts seperately. The power supply working again after turning off and on, is because there is a little trip in the power supply that triggers when it detects a fault. Powering down resets that trip allowing it to try and work again.

No Display

If you are testing the motherboard by removing items plugged into it, remember to leave the CPU Heatsink on if the CPU is still in the socket otherwise the CPU will overheat in seconds or minutes and could be damaged.

If you power on the system, do the fans spin? such as the CPU heatsink fan? If no fans are spinning that are connected to the motherboard, see if the fan is spinning inside the power supply using a flashlight if needed. If not, try a known good power outlet or different plug on your surge bar or a new surge bar.
Even if the power supply fan is spinning, the power supply could be faulty. Borrow or buy one that matches the current wattage written on the side (ie: "output 350W")

Post back here with more info or if anything of this sounds like the issue you are having.

Cpu didnot run ,i cant find any signel on my cpu every thing is ok but there is a problems in motherboard what should i do ?

A) With great tact and diplomacy;
Do not refer to a Personal Computer as a CPU.

CPU = Central Processing Unit.
Another term is Microprocessor, or simply Processor for short.
CPU = Processor

B) Because of the method you used to refer to the Computer, I do not know if you're talking about; the PROCESSOR did not start, or the Computer.

C) If I we are to believe this is a reference to the Computer;

1) Check the Power Supply voltages,
OR
2) Substitute the Power Supply; with a KNOWN to be working, Compatible power supply, for a temporary test unit.

Why?
A) If ALL the LED lights were on at once, they would use less than 1 Watt of power.

B) EACH fan uses 2 to 3 Watts of power.

C) A typical Processor can use 51 to 125 Watts of power.
Just depends on what Processor it is.

A Power Supply with a weak voltage power rail, will not have enough power to turn the Processor on.

However I am still confused by the statements;
1) "CPU did not run"

Does this mean the COMPUTER did NOT turn on, which implies the Power Supply did not turn on;

OR,

Does this mean LED lights came on, fans may be spinning, but Windows does not load?

2) "I can't find any signal on my Computer........"
Signal = Voltage.

To see if there were voltages going through the motherboard, you wouldn't be posting on here. You would know how to take a multimeter, and test them.

Means to me you see No Signal on the monitor.

D) Are you FOLLOWING Anti-Static Procedures?

E) Power Supply voltages prove to be good, or you are using a KNOWN to be good, Compatible power supply?

Disconnect EVERYTHING from the motherboard.

NO cables to the motherboard, EXCEPT the 24-pin ATX main power cable,

http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#atxmain24

[NOTE* Color of connector does NOT matter ]

,and the 4-pin ATX +12 Volt power cable,

http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#atx12v4

Disconnect the data cable AT THE motherboard, for the Harddrive, and optical drive/s. (CD/DVD drive)
Disconnect the power cables to them also.

Disconnect ANY USB front panel cables.

LEAVE processor fan wire connected to motherboard.

You want the Processor, finned Heatsink sitting on it, and the Processor fan.
ONE stick of Ram Memory in Slot 1. (DIMM 1)

Leave graphics card in, IF used; or monitor is connected to the VGA port on the motherboard. (D-Sub connector)

Turn the Power Supply on.
You should be able to bring the BIOS Setup screen up.

If no, consider the motherboard to be bad.

Show all solution to d945plrn motherboard problem not powering up

PSU IS OK? You're sure? You tested the 3 main voltages coming out?

DON'T rely on; "The LED lights are on, and the fans spin, so therefore the PSU must be good.

1) If ALL the LED lights were on at once, they would use less than 1 Watt of power.

2) EACH fan uses 2 to 3 Watts of power.

3) A typical Processor uses 51 to 125 Watts of power.

With a Power Supply that has a weak voltage power rail, you will see LED's light, and fans spin; BUT not enough power to turn the Processor on.

Power Supply also needs to be plugged into motherboard to test, because you need a Load on the Power Supply.

PSU is KNOWN to be good? I mean KNOWN.
Not, "It's brand new so I know it has to be good"
Okay, moving on.

CPU OK?
How did you test it? Install on another working motherboard?

Are the Electrolytic Capacitors on the motherboard good?

http://capacitorlab.com/visible-failures/index.htm

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lut7MX5Dd_A

Capacitors on the motherboard are used as Filters, and Voltage Regulators.
The ones used as Voltage Regulators are in the Motherboard Voltage Regulator Circuit,

http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/616

Part of what the Motherboard Voltage Regulator Circuit does, is to regulate voltage for the Processor. (CPU)

The CPU MUST have a steady, 'clean', supply of voltage, and it MUST be kept within the Processor's voltage tolerance range.
Too much, or too little, and the CPU shuts off. BIOS turns it off.

(CPU stands for Central Processing Unit. Another term used is Microprocessor, or simply Processor for short.
I know you are aware, just posting for all those who read the solution in the future)

Voltage not going to cpu

Not sure just what you mean. If your computer is plugged into the wall and the power is turned on, the power supply should be on and the cooling fan turning. Also, the CPU fan should be turning and the hard drive should spin up.
Note that the power supply is the main component that must be supplying the power. If you don't hear or see the fan turning in the power supply and the little power light on the front of the computer does not light, replace the power supply.
If your power supply is running and nothing else is running, I would unhook all devices and leave just the CPU and video and memory in. If you get nothing, then the motherboard is probably bad.

Please clear cmos if system no display after overclocking

Click the following picture to enlarge:
pctech1_0.png

CPU Overheated
If the system shutdown automatically after power on system for seconds, that means the CPU protection function has been activated. When the CPU is over heated, the motherboard will shutdown automatically to avoid a damage of the CPU, and the system may not power on again.

In this case, please double check:
1. The CPU cooler surface is placed evenly with the CPU surface.
2. CPU fan is rotated normally.
3. CPU fan speed is fulfilling with the CPU speed.

After confirmed, please follow steps below to relief the CPU protection function.
1. Remove the power cord from power supply for seconds.
2. Wait for seconds.
3. Plug in the power cord and boot up the system.

Or you can:
1. Clear the CMOS data.
2. Wait for seconds.
3. Power on the system again.

If after clearing the CMOS you still have no display, you may have damaged your motherboard, CPU, or RAM. If you need further assistance with this Motherboard, let me know.

My cpu is not booting and neither any thing is displaying on the moniter, i checked ram is ok.... don't know what to do, please me

Open the case, and disconnect all the devices (CD, disk-drive, floppy-drive). Turn the computer on, and see if the fan on top of the CPU spins, if the fan in the power-supply spins, and (optionally) if a lamp on the motherboard lights-up.

If not, then you need to try a different power-supply.

Hi:
Since you swapped the power supply already, and have disconnected the DVD, CD, and floppy, that leaves the hard drive and motherboard!

Look the motherboard over, and see if there are any capacitors that are bulging or leaking out on the tops.
Is the inside of the computer very dusty? Check and make sure when you power up the tower, that the cpu fan is spinning up.

Your CPU could be overheating, so removing the Heatsink fan and re applying thermal paste is an option too
If it is, try resetting the CMOS on the motherboard, or pulling the CMOS battery for a minite.
Do you get anything to display on the screen?
If you have more than one stick of memory, take out one of the sticks if possibleif possible.

Put an extra hd , now cpu fan spins and stops after 1 sec

Disconnect the data-cable and power-cable from the extra hard-drive, and try again. If the problem is the same, then the extra hard-drive, by itself, is not the problem. Borrow a power-supply, and connect it to the motherboard, and see if the alternate power-supply solves the problem.
