 |
|
I was reinstalling Gentoo yesterday and I started compiling my kernel and left to eat dinner, and when I came back my computer was turned off so I wondered what happened, so I tried to turn it back on and nothing happeneed. So I made sure the jumpers for my power button and everything are okay, and I see the lights on my network cards lgihting up, but the fans aren't on, the psu fan isn't on, and nothing inside my case comes on. I didn't smell any smoke from my processor, and I don't know, even if it was dead wouldn't the computer still turn on? or at least the fans? Help!
Thanks |

Man. The same thing happened to my shuttle. I'm pretty sure it was because I had it in the TV cabinet compiling qt and someone shut the cabinet door. I think the thing overheated and popped the powersupply...

I dunno if the powersupply broke though... the lights on the network cards on the motherboard still come on. No fans, though. |

Anything is possible. Mine doesn't come up at all. If it were my box I'd check the powersupply first.
Could the processor have possibly overheated?
