The motherboard is one of the most important pieces of hardware for a computer. Almost every other piece of hardware connects to your motherboard, so if your motherboard stops functioning, the rest of your computer will no longer work. When your ECS motherboard stops working, there are a few things you can do to troubleshoot it.
Instructions
1. Verify there are no damaged components on the motherboard. Look for bent pins, physical damage or any signs of corrosion or burns, such as discolored or black markings.
2. Unplug and reconnect everything attached to the motherboard, such as your video card and power supply. A loose connection will cause your motherboard to not function properly.
3. Listen for the beep code when you power on the computer. A series of beep codes will sound, alerting you to the exact nature of your problem.
4. Unplug the power supply and plug it back to sure the connection is secure. Plug the power supply into another power outlet to ensure the problem is not with your electrical outlet. Test the motherboard with another power supply if one is available.
5. Plug the components into your motherboard one at a time, booting the computer after each one. This will help to determine which part of your motherboard is at fault.
