[SOLVED] Need Help with a SIS741GX motherboard

ZEROunit · 07-01-2008, 10:40 PM

Hello I have a Emachines T3085 My system was acting a little unstable after I put a new graphics card Its a GeForce 6200 & 2gig of PNY RAM so I purchased a new PSU Its a Ultra 500Watt cause I just figured that it didn't have enough power not thinking anything about it so long story short I took out my motherboard its a AU31 to clean it out & put it back in and the motherboard didn't start fans moved for a sec then it never started again... I Kept my self grounded the hole time also so I don't know what I did to it I went to other sites and found out that put a higher PSU on that old motherboard would cause it to get fried after the fact so i just got a new motherboard Which is the SIS741GX & its doing the same thing that the old one was doing I have a new CPU fan and a new chip set fan as well so i don't know what to do fans started for a sec then stopped don't know what to do... & also i checked the cpu and there are no burn marks also..

You did check the power switch to see if the correct voltage was selected?
