hello,


My Little brother can't keep his hands off his computer. If it ain't broke dont fix it... anyways. He bought a new power supply for his computer put it in worked fine then he plugged in the extra 4 pin slot so he would have 24 pins plugged in and computer wouldn't start. It turns on no beeps just dont load i have tried unpluggin everything and reseating memory, video card, etc... i even pulled battery out and cleared RTC but it still wont load.
Is it possible he fried motherboard by pluggin in the extra 4 pins?

What 4 pins?

Are you saying the main line is 20+4? In which case there would be a 20 pin and 4 pin block connected to each other.

This is just to differentiate between the 4 pin CPU line which is a separate lead and needs to be in its place which is not the 20+4 pin port.

yes a 20 pin block +4 pins

Is the CPU 4 pin still in place?

no i took it out just the 20 pin block is there now oh yea i also tried to use old power supply

What I am trying to determine is whether or not the CPU 4 pin is in place.

This has nothing to to do with the 20+4 pin.

The CPU has a 4 pin dedicated plug.

Is it plugged in?

yes the 4 pin for cpu is plugged in

Remove the RAM and turn it on.

Does it beep now?

no no beep

Did it normally beep once on startup when all was okay?
