Subject: [A-1-Computer_Tech] Re:computer won't boot - problem solved
I finally figured out what was wrong with my computer!This is for
reference if anyone has dealt with a computer that didn't boot even
though the fans and lights came on. It turned out that my
fanspeed/heatsink over my CPU was running too slow and my
motherboard wouldn't start up because of that. Once I replaced it
with a new fan and heatsink, the computer booted! Save me money on a
mobo and cpu! Thanks everyone who tried to help me!
