Motherboard problems

[Enflame]

So I recently sent off my computer because all of a sudden and without any sort of warning it wouldnt even post. no bios just a blank screen and not a peep from the motherboard. Having got my computer back from pc specialist it was okay for 4 weeks and then same issue without warning motherboard just not beeping or posting at all the lights were on but no one was home anyone any idea what could have caused this and how to avoid this. I have sent it off to pc specialist again. i but they didnt tell me the cause. My mobo was a Ma597

Did you get any note on your RMA? Best thing to do is contact technical support.

I did yea they both just said there was a fault in the mobo was i just really unlucky or was there something wrong ie a virus / its on carpet however case is grounded and closed all the time everything else was okay apparently. I want to know if there is something i did that cuased the sudden fault in the mobo

 

[keynes]

A virus shouldn't cause a fault in the motherboard (at least that is what I assume). Did they replace the motherboard?

 

[Enflame]

Yea they did the first time I sent it back although shortly after that 4 weeks later i had exactly the same problem with the mobo gone again no warning or anything at all

So I wondering if it was something i was doing ie like running emulators or leaving the computer on for long stretches or something something i could avoid in the future because ot having the computer means i cant do my college work and play lol

I'd follow Keynes' advice and get back in touch with PCS tech support. Using the PC (as you have been) imo shouldn't cause the problems you're having.
