Help Me M/B Problem

Postby [SCUM] DeathWish » 03 Mar 2009, 20:27

I have an ASUS P5K about 9 months old.

here is the issue, I was rebooting the computer (due to a unrecognised USB device) and it powered down normally. But will not power back up, all the motherboard is doing is flashing the on-board LED rapdily ! apart form that its dead.

Is it my power supply ? I got no indication whilst its was powering down, no smoke, no burning etc nothing at all.

help, nothing in the manual about rapidly blinking on board LED.

ok now its working. ready a few forums seems it maybe PSU related.

But why after 9 months would it start to play up...... How do I check what wattage I need is there a programme I can run?

I am sure my current one is at least 500watts.

no beeping other than the normal "You have a keyboard connected" one.

The whole computer is super stable and has been for 9 months. Not sure why is actiing up now. Maybe it is the PSU on its way out.
