Hello
After a few days searching for info and learning about this, i got stuck trying to figure out without having acces to a boardview schematic, what is going on with my old pc that i stoped using while it was working like 7 years ago, and now suddently it doesnt work.
Im talking about a pc that have : MSI z97-g43, i5 4690k, the pc it looks to be starting without beeps from the motherboard, and when i take out ram it does beep. Also de cpu its heating, and im sure the gpu works, the only problem, i have more DDR3 rams around here, but i don´t know 100% if they work because i dont have any ddr3 motherboard to test them. So i already try all the typical things like, test with only 1 ram, or test the ram slots 1 by one and still having no video image or enter bios.. ( i could measure with a multimeter but i don´t exactly know where and what it should be a normal voltage etc.. )
Also i have a hd 5850 that when i plug in, and start the pc, it shows for 2 secconds a white line in the corner of the screen and then the screen shutdown. This may be repairable ?
And finally i got a gtx 960, that is seems to be working on the mother board but also doesnt show any image. This one i opened it and with a multimeter it seems to have the Capacitors in short. But i don´t know exactly what more to test with the multimeter to see if there is anytihng more than the capacitors.
Thx everyone for taking the time to see this post and answer !
