My computer is showing all the signs of a dead cpu but I’m not sure. It turn on the fans turn on but there is no display output and I can’t get anything to happen when I press any buttons on my keyboard or mouse. What do you guys think.
It's a bit difficult without knowing the exact components but try a power refresh and check if that works.
Turn off the PC and then disconnect the power from the PSU.
Open it up and look for a coin cell battery on the motherboard and if one is there remove it as well.
Next, press and hold the power button operated for a full 30 seconds and then release it.
Reinsert the coin cell battery on the motherboard (+ve side up as marked on the battery) reassemble the PC, reconnect the power to the PSU and turn it on and check.
If still no good usually Dell PCs have 4 diagnostic lights on the back of the case which is a code to tell you what's wrong. Also if the power button light is flashing or is a different colour. That's why knowing what Inspiron model the motherboard came from would really help.
I’m responding to this late at night so I can’t test it now but I will try but please note it is not in its original case and does not have indicater lights on the motherboard or case or a power button light see you in the morning.
@graysenfisher sure, it's possible. I bet you do not like us guessing :-) We really need to know more about your computer. Give us the details about your setup:
Motherboard (make and model)
Power supply (Watt and make)
Memory (amount and make)
Storage HDD/SSD (make and model)
Video card (make and model)
The more details you provide the great the chance of providing you with a useful answer.
All we can give you right now is, yes! It it's possible that this is a bad CPU. ;-)
I have a motherboard that came from a dell ispirion and it has a 2nd gen ryzen 7 an older Radeon card I forgot what one and a dell power supply from an ispirion with 2 sticks of 8 gb of ram so 16 go of ram with a 2 tb crucial ssd.
@graysenfisher are you connecting your input devices via USB? Have you made sure that your keyboard and/or your mouse work on another computer, or have you tried a different mouse/keyboard on your computer?
Yea I verified that my keyboard and mouse both work as they work with other computers. But there is one thing I don’t know if it matters but since the motherboard was from an ispirion it does not like when I added anything to it so when the fans where changed it hated that and would not let me boot but then I fixed that but ever since when I turned it on it would say please plug in the following cable and there would be no cable following the error message l and I just had to click alt f4 to boot.
