Why the maternal is burning. What if the motherboard does not start? Symptoms and motherboard malfunctions

Symptoms and malfunctions of the motherboard.

In this article I will talk about the main malfunctions of motherboards and their symptoms.

When diagnosing, all loops and cables are disabled from the motherboard (except for power supply cables). Also removed: video card (if any); Memory and all additional devices From slots. On the motherboard only the processor, the processor cooler, and the power supply is connected.

1. When you press the power button, the computer turns on and is immediately turned off or does not turn on at all.

Listen to the sounds during inclusion. Perhaps you will hear a squeak, click or crash. These are signs that there is a closure on the motherboard. If the power supply is more or less good, it will work short circuit, if not, it is possible that the remaining elements of the board will be lit. Watch out for the power supply fan, even if the remaining fans do not spin at all. You may see twitching the power supply fan during switching on, while the motherboard start does not occur. This is also a sign of a short circuit on the motherboard.

2. The computer turns on when you click on the power button, but there is no start.

a) When the computer is enabled, try carefully touch the southern bridge (about the south bridge read) and the North (about the North Bridge read). If they are abnormally hot (it is impossible to touch), then they burned down. You need to change the motherboard.

b) Remove the cooler from the processor, put your hand on the processor and turn on the power. Be careful to burn! and turn off the power if the processor heats up! If the processor remains cold after switching on, the processor power supply chain is faulty. Need a replacement of the motherboard.

c) the easiest option. Pull the battery from the motherboard, disconnect the power cord from the power supply. Wait a minute. So we dropped the BIOS to the "Default" parameters. Try to enable. If nothing happened, it is likely that motherboard Substantiate.

3. The computer reboots during operation, loading OS.

Look at the motherboard condensers, look closely precisely to electrolytic capacitors. Their cap can be swelling, or the capacitor itself is raised above the surface of the board and a rubber plug opens from it from under it. The reason may be overheating (dust, poor cooling). Such a capacitor is subject to replacement.

The motherboard is the most important element of any computer. It is here that the processor is located, a video adapter, sound card, network board and many other PC components. but this part is very sensitive to the operating conditions, and no one is insured against the exit of it.

If you have burned out the motherboard, there may be a lot of reasons: spilled liquid, overheating, voltage jump ...

But how to determine this breakdown, why does she arise and what to do in such a situation? We will understand the article.

How to determine the problem?

If your motherboard burned down, you will immediately notice some signs of this trouble. There are several of them, and everyone may indicate various problems with the device. We list the main ones.

• PC refuses to boot, however coolers rotate;
• The device is successfully starting to work, but it lacks it for a long time, and it turns off almost immediately;
• The machine starts normally, it works more or less, but if you turn on any resource-proof application - immediately goes out;
• From the device may end the smell of burned;
• And other troubles.

If you faced similar problems, then you most likely burned the motherboard.

There are also some indirect ways to identify some problems. For example:

These are just some methods with which you can determine such malfunctions at home. To set more accurate diagnosis special equipmentwhich is present only in service centers. No matter what repair at home can be speech.

Major faults

If you have burned out the motherboard, it means that there was some kind of reason. Since the motherboard is an element of fragile and sensitive to external conditions, many problems can arise with it. We list the main "diseases" that can lead to faults this element PC.

So, we figured out the main troubles that may comprehend the motherboard. But what to do in such a situation?

How to solve such problems?

If your motherboard burned down, in no case are in no case attempt to correct the situation on their own. Without the appropriate skills and equipment, you can only aggravate the problem. "Handicraft" repairs often lead to damage to the processor, video card or peripheral devicesthat significantly increases the cost of such a repair.

Expert experts see only two exits from this situation.

• Repairs. Unfortunately, the phenomenon is quite rare due to inappropriateness. If some elements of electronics are damaged, the repair may cost more than buying a new board. A similar situation is valid in cases if several radio components burned down at once.
• Replacement. A common solution to the problem of the burnt motherboard. Specialists establish a new motherboard, transplancing the processor, video adapter and peripherals, adjust, connect and return the owner. Such devices serve much longer and more reliablely renovated.

Contact us for help

The "Expert" service center has everything necessary to carry out the highest possible repair of the computer. Modern equipment And highly qualified specialists are capable of solving any problem. Turning to us, you will get the maximum result for the minimum time.

Many of us have come across a computer malfunction. And well, if these are problems that can be solved on your own. Worse, if ultimate will have to carry the car to the service center. And even if everything is fixed there, it is not a fact that the system will not give a failure again and will not let go at the most inappropriate moment.

If you drop all the conversations about complex system errors or some mechanical problems, the rest is generally solved. In the Internet great amount Video devoted to the repair of gadgets and computer components. So you can see how to change the screen on the smartphone, how to clean and smear the cooler, how to replace the thermal paste. And what if the motherboard does not start?

Errors

First you need to understand what causes the causes of malfunctions. In general, the motherboard is a complex device where a huge number of items are placed: from large components to small bolts, sensors and indicators. Due to the fact that controllers, connectors, slots, chipsets, stabilizers, condensers, etc. are placed on the board, etc., it is difficult to avoid errors.

By the way, the presence of all these elements may complicate repairs, affect the removal methods of failures. As a result, it becomes clear that errors in this case can be divided into mechanical and systemic. The first can be corrected using a soldering iron even at home, although the case is quite rare. With unsuccessful outcome, physical damage can be eliminated only by buying a new device. Sometimes condensers, power sensors or similar elements that carry voltages can simply burn due to the load on the system.

System errors are more "flexible". They are easier to correct themselves, although sometimes you have to resort to the help of specialists. But in general system error - This is not a sentence to the device, and if for this reason you do not start the motherboard, do not fall into despair.

Who is guilty?

Interestingly, in general, if some breakdowns occurred, or users or poor-quality meals occurred. In the first case, the buyer could take carelessly when installing the board, it is inactively unpacking it or incorrectly operated. In the second case, the power supply can be harvested, which not only overloads the fee, but also the "dilute" all other components on it.

Also, you can also be brought to those who sent you the product by mail and damaged something during transport. There are also unscrupulous manufacturers who sometimes make a poor-quality assembly, and also use poor-quality materials, outdated capacitors, weak radiators, forget about the cooling of the chip, etc.

Home solution problem

So, if you had some kind of problem, and you more or less understand the technologies of the PC system, you can try to correct everything yourself. Note that the intervention in the physical condition of the motherboard removes it from the warranty period, and all that will happen - everything is for your fear and risk.

It is worth understanding what consists of several layers, and this is despite the fact that the thickness of the plate itself is the entire pair of millimeters. Each layer acquired copper conductors, and if the problem with them, then, most likely, the service center or the acquisition of a new platform will help you.

Previously, in old models, this problem was often happening easily could be eliminated with a soldering iron. If you have already enjoyed this tool, you understand how it works, you can try to solder small details, while watching the temperature, as well as using a subtle sting.

Device

Before rushing to eliminate breakdowns or deal with why the motherboard does not start, it is necessary to diagnose the "ailment". Usually, the service centers use the so-called multimeter or multi-seater. Such a name tool received due to its multifunctionality: it can check several indicators.

These devices are a large number. They need to be able to use, understand what is the difference between analog and digital tester, which will allow you to check the stability of the platform. The digital device is most comfortable in use, it is easy to work with it, and it does not require special skills, especially if you have a high-quality model in your hands.

As a result, the multitetester can indicate the voltage indicators, resistance, measures the current strength, checks the resistors, transistors, diodes, battery capacity and capacitors.

Replacement

Of course, practically no one ordinary users Houses in the box do not fall extra multitetester. Therefore, you will have to diagnose the breakdown by all possible methods. If your motherboard is turned on, but does not start, you will have to change it.

The main advantage of the PC is that there are many components in the housing that can be replaced. To find a faulty module, you will have to turn off each component. It is worth remembering that much depends on the plumes, cables, contacts, connectors, and other things. It all often leads to a violation of connecting parts.

Usually, checking the work in this way and highlighting a faulty component, experts recommend to leave a maternity with a chip, a power supply and speaker to monitor the sound signals. If it all works, then most likely the case in one of the disconnected components. Then it is necessary to connect one each device and monitor its performance. Some do on the contrary, take out each device in turn.

If with this diagnostics you found that the board starts, but, for example, the video card does not respond, this does not mean that it is the graphics accelerator that made a failure. There are problems with cables, with connections and contacts on the same system board. Therefore, there will have to check everything, connect the video card to another PC, replace the cable, etc.

Cunning

The reasons why the motherboard does not start, the fans are working, or at all the platform does not provide signs of life, there are absolutely different. Interestingly, even the system itself can simply "sick". For example, if the BIOS battery fell on the board, or it is simply absent, the system "pretends dead." For this incident, the multitetester is just perfect, and if you do not have it, carry the product to repair.

There is a problem with the feed voltage. To understand whether everything is fine with this side, you need to connect the power supply to the board and plug into it the power cable. If you do not really old model Platforms on it will light up the LED. If the light is not caught fire, most likely, you will have to go back to repair.

Common problem

It happens that the motherboard does not start, but the fans are spinning. The problem is not the most common and often seen on the old models of the motherboard. Owners of such devices need to know that problems of this type are often due to the negligence of the user. In this case, the usual cleaning will help. In fact, such prevention should be carried out at least once every six months: check the status of the system, clean the motherboard from dust, monitor cooling and thermal storage. If you abandoned the fee, then you do not need to be surprised that a large accumulation of dust led to a violation in contacts.

In this case, the most good option - It is to check the performance of each connector. Perhaps the place where the power supply is connected is strongly contaminated and requires usual cleaning. It also happens that problems in connectors are noticeable with an external inspection, then it is much easier to understand what you need to do next: just change the cable or change the connector.

Condencators

Interestingly, if the Asus motherboard does not start, they are trying to punish the capacitors. In general, the manufacturer is considered conscientious and always equips its models. quality materials. But in old models there are flaws. Some users decide to overpass these details on their own, but they make it poorly, which entails the system errors again. It happens that capacitors are changed at the service and center, and the motherboard ceases to "live".

No answer

It also happens that the motherboard starts and immediately turns off. Usually people begin to think that the computer defeated a terrible virus. He "ate" everything that was, and there are no roads back. This is a rather rare explanation. Immediately it is worth checking if the PC's power button was not pulled out, then you need to see the system unit and clean from dust.

Yes, again you have to turn off everything in turn or disable everything at once and leave the main elements. It happens that the PC does not turn on due to the power supply, which does not perform its basic functions, although in this case the motherboard would not be included at all. It also happens that the cause of the problem will indicate the BIOS, which will publish a certain beep.

Where is the image?

Some users faced the fact that the motherboard starts, but no image on the monitor. Of course, the first and main reason is the displays. But this happens quite rare, much more often users simply forget to connect the monitor to the outlet. You also need to exclude the damage to the cable and activate the power button on the monitor.

Next reason for this error - BIOS. It sometimes resets the settings and as a whole can affect the work of the motherboard. Usually everything is solved if you get into the BIOS settings. But the monitor is silent, so we open the PC housing and looking for a battery. It is responsible for the energy volatility and stores the BIOS settings. I pull it out, we wait a couple of seconds and insert it back.

As mentioned earlier, there may be problems with the rest of the components. Remember that even dust can be your worst enemy, so if something happened to the PC, immediately open the case and view each element. There may be problems to be and visible, for example, you can get a motherboard and inspect it for the appearance of dark spots, burnt elements or sharp odor.

Transistors

If you do not start the motherboard asus or another company, then the reason can be wounded in the transistors. This is another element, which in general can be checked independently. We are looking for a short circuit on them. Let it happen quite rarely, but, as they say, warned - it means armed.

For diagnostics, we re-release a fee from all power connectors so that the lacquer does not hit the current. We take a multi-seater (yes, unfortunately, those who do not have this device cannot produce this diagnostics) and check all the contest conclusions. This element on the board is difficult to find, as it is small, and there are a lot of details on the platform. The transistor is similar to a square or a rectangle with three conclusions.

Details

All the above reasons are not the only one. In general, there are a huge number of errors that lead to the fact that the motherboard does not start. The first thing you need to remember is care of the system. It is impossible to buy a PC and forget about him, it is important to care for it, clean, follow the heating, etc.

Among other breakdowns that can withdraw the motherboard can call incorrect work network adapter - This is a cable that connects the Internet to the system. Due to unstable routers, Internet centers and other devices, voltage jumps may occur, which lead to the burnout of the chain.

Often, users face problems in BIOS. Because of them may not start the manufacturers try to present more new model This multiprogram platform. But if you suddenly sat down a regular battery on the board, then no system introduction will help. You just need to replace it.

Power also plays a key role. With a separate PC collection, you need to calculate the required power with which the power supply can cope. In addition, you must not forget about good cooling, since manufacturers, saving on materials, forget to set a pair of extra radiators on the power elements or use weak stabilizers.

Another reason, because of which your does not start are damaged ports. Do not everyone know, but the peripherals turning off during the PC operation can adversely affect the elements of the board. For example, if you sharply launch a mouse from the connector, the voltage jump will occur, which will cause the port combustion. And well, if it is not working only the connector ... And if it burns all motherboard? You have to collect money for a new one.

conclusions

So, remember: if your motherboard does not start, most likely you will have to take it into repair. This is the most logical option that life will make it easier, although it will require additional funds. If you are more or less understandable in the work of the PC, you can fix everything yourself to fix everything - after all, sometimes, as we learned, the problem may hide in the discharged battery or the cable disconnected.

Therefore, we check all the elements to be connected firmly, and the power supply is turned on. We further look if there are all regulators of the voltage and jumper of the processor in the correct position: it is necessary that all components are firmly "sitting" in their places. If nothing happens, we consider the fee closer and we are looking for visible damage, we connect only the necessary items for initial work. If everything works, then the reason lies in one of the disconnected components. If the problem is not eliminated, then it is better to turn to specialists.

The processor is the heart of the computer. When this element fails, the entire system stops functioning. You will not be able to use PC before purchasing a new processor. But we immediately note that such a nuisance sweeps users infrequently. Signs of the burnt processor should be able to determine every PC owner. We will present you several instructions that will help identify a malfunction on their own.

Causes of malfunction

The main reason why the processor can burn in your computer is a banal overheating of the system. PC because of this, begins to work unstable, "LAGN" and "brake". This is the most harmless effect of the problem. If it is running, then you can bring the case to the burnt processor.

This device (as well as a video card) in the PC cools a special fan - cooler. IN desktop computer There may be 2-3 such coolers, in a compact laptop one. From here you need to constantly monitor the workability of coolers that do not give the process to overheat.

Who is guilty?

What is the computer overheat? The case may not only be faulty, but also in weak coolers. For example, if on your computer powerful processorand the fans are calculated on the average CPU.

The second culprit is dust. The garbage litters the blades of the fans, does not give them to rotate in full power. As a result, the device is weakly cools the processor.

And the third reason is poor-quality, the old thermal paste. Often it dries so much that it is accuming to the radiator.

The first signs of the problem

When the processor burned down, the first signs of great trouble are the following:

• The coolers on the device became suspiciously noise. You should disassemble the computer, see what state is the fans. If necessary, they are brushed from dust, check the backlash. Or replace faulty cooler to a new one.
• Blue screen of death". Not so frequent, but characteristic feature. Appears both when turned on and during operation. This indicates a malfunction and other components.
• Permanent independent reboots of the system. In this way, she tries to correct the failures in the processor.

BIOS signal

If a PC processor burned down, the fault signs will indicate the BIOS system. You only need to correctly decipher its signals.

To do this, enable your computer. Listen to what kind of signals gives the bios speaker. Find the instructions for the device where their value will be described. However, such a study only allows you to narrow the range of finding a problem, and does not give a specific answer to the question.

Experienced users note that BIOS is rarely referred to about the processor brave. Therefore, if you did not hear a signal, it is worth suspecting the CPU.

Often, the situation when the computer turns on, its coolers begin to work, but the screen does not light up. Someone immediately sin on the video card. But as a time about this fault, the BIOS reports a specific signal. If it is not, then the reason is most likely in the same processor.

Deciphering BIOS signal

Computer wizards advises to deal with signals that send BIOS to the user. With a particular equipment error, as already mentioned, the system makes certain sounds separated by pauses. How to decipher them? Need to calculate the number, the sequence of long and short signals. This will be decoding the message.

So, how to identify signs of a burnt processor using BIOS signals:

1. First of all, you need to define the developer of the BIOS of your motherboard. This information Contained in the instruction manual this device. The manufacturer directly depends on the decoding of the system signals.
2. Below we will imagine how those or other systems are talking about the problems of processor.
3. If the BIOS is silent, then two ways of diagnosis remains: disassemble the system unit (to visually determine the burned processor) or test the serviceability of the device on another computer.

BIOS varieties and signal decoding

So that you can understand, and rightly burned the processor, we present signs of possible problems in the article. See how they talk about problems with the BIOS processor of various developers:

• AWARD BIOS. High-tone squeak during PC operation. This signal says that to protect it from the brave, the user should turn off the computer as soon as possible. If you only launched the device and hear alternately replacing each other low-frequency and high-frequency signals, which means that the processor is faulty or overheated.
• AST BIOS. One short signal says that when checking the processor registers, an error occurred, therefore, the CPU is faulty. In this case, the device must be attributed to a specialized center. Alone to repair the processor, the unqualified master will not be able.
• AMI BIOS. Five short signals talk about processor fault. If you hear 7 short sounds, then an error of the virtual processor mode is observed. Since these are different problems, you need to carefully listen to signals so as not to make a mistake with a malfunction.

Collapse of the system unit

If the processor burned down, the signs of trouble is easiest to be visually detected when the device is examined. For this:

1. Remove the cover system BlockGet to the processor.
2. From the component should be removed its cooler.
3. Next, the radiator: unscrewing it, or lingering special assembly (depending on the model).
4. If the processor burned down, the sign is characteristic inside the hull. But in some cases it may not be.
5. The next stage of diagnosis: inspect the space around the socket itself. If it is blackened, melted, it means that your suspicions are correct. In some cases, the problem can be solved by simply by updating the burnt thermal chaser for a new one. Remember that the fresh layer of the substance is applied to a uniform thin layer.
6. Collect the processor back, place the housing in the system. Turn on the computer. If the monitor does not light up again, most likely your processor has blocked.

Checking the component on another computer

Signs of the burnt processor on the computer can not always be apparent. To make sure that this component has failed, experts advise one simple and accurate diagnostics: check the performance of the device on another computer.

But be sure to prevent you: the method is also dangerous. If the processor is faulty, that is, the big risk of breakboxes of the motherboard of another PC. Therefore, as soon as you were convinced that the processor was blocked, immediately turn off the computer! Do not keep it active for a long time.

Before installing the processor in another computer, be sure to change the thermal layer on the CPU itself and on the radiator on the fresh. Collect the system. Turn on the computer. Illuminated screen, systems function normally? With your processor, everything is in order. The root problem in another component.

Change processor to new

By the way, the signs of the burnt processor on the radio tape recorder are few different from those that are observed on the PC. The device refuses to function, and when disassembly, you see a melted, blackened socket. There may also be a characteristic smell of Gary.

And we return to the computer. You see all signs of a burnt processor on a PC, confident in the fault of the component. Exit from the situation is one - the purchase of a new device:

• Before buying a replacement, be sure to arm the characteristics of a broken device.
• A new processor must be compatible with your motherboard. How to find out? Go to the manufacturer's website "Mother's", find your model. As a rule, the manufacturer places a compatibility table to the product. Based on this data, you need to choose new processor.
• The device is purchased. What to do next? You have two ways: to entrust the replacement by qualified specialists service Center Or produce all work yourself.

If you have chosen the second option, we invite you to follow the instructions on:

1. Before starting work, be sure to turn off the computer, disconnect it outlets.
2. Open the side cover of the system unit. The processor is located in the system under the radiator of the cooler.
3. To replace you need to remove the cooler from the device. Usually its latches are easily removed. Only for some models it is required to pre-pull out the motherboard.
4. After you fastened the latches-locks, carefully disconnect the processor from the cooler. In some cases, the components may stick to each other. Then you will need to slowly turn the cooler around the axis to move it off.
5. Next, open the fixing socket latch to get the old spoiled processor.
6. Replace simply: Install a new one. Then do not forget to snap the bracket.
7. When replacing, it is important to be careful in all actions. At the end of the procedure, make sure that the processor is in a socket in the correct position, in accordance with the existing speakers.
8. To the upper cover of the processor, be sure to apply a thin layer of the thermal column. Carefully distribute the substance over the surface.
9. From the bottom surface of the cooler, be sure to remove the layer of the old thermal paste. For cleaning it is best to use a rag or soft paper.
10. Install the cooler in the system unit. Make sure that all of his retainers are snapped to the end, and the device is tight and securely fixed. The cooler itself should fit tightly to the processor.
11. Final step: Close the system unit housing, turn on the device to check the performance of the newly installed processor.

How to avoid problems?

How to check the signs of the burnt processor, we disassembled. And in order not to face it, we recommend that you install on your PC special programcapable of controlling the temperature of the components of the system. On the Web you will find a large selection of such applications - paid and free, simple and advanced.

More experts advise not to use games, applications, to run a more powerful system than your PC. Such programs can also cause an increase in processor temperature to critical.

Now you know how to determine the burned processor and change it to the new one. But easier to prevent a similar problem.

No video signal: If the computer does not transmit an image to the monitor, it is not always in the video card - sometimes the problem may be in the motherboard. To find out if it is, connect the monitor to one of the outputs of the built-in video card, or replace the discrete video card with an obviously good. If, after that, when you turn on the PC, the image is missing, it is likely that the case in the motherboard fault.

The central processor remains cold: Another sign of a faulty motherboard can be the temperature of the processor. Give the computer to work without a video signal and the power indicator within a few minutes. Then turn it off and carefully touch the ribs of the central processor radiator.

In the event that the insiever of the processor is small (up to 30 W, it can be found on the manufacturer's website), it is necessary to include the system without a radiator, and to touch - not to the ribs of the radiator, but to the heat dissipation of the processor cover. If the edge or cover is cold, then the motherboard does not support the processor (in this case, the BIOS update can help), or it is not powered by the motherboard malfunction.

The speaker of the motherboard is silent: As a rule, when the computer is started, the motherboard speaker makes characteristic sound signals. If your computer stopped feeding the sound signals when turned on, it indicates the motherboard malfunction. If he has never published sound signalsYou may have disabled notifications in the BIOS.

Reset bIOS settings will help re-activate this feature. Perhaps your motherboard is not equipped with a speaker. Speaker You can buy in a specialized store. When connecting the speaker, pay attention to the fact that the connectors are connected correctly.

Fault diagnostics: For sure to find out what causes the cause of the breakdown, use a special diagnostic post fee with PCI or PCI-E connector. In electronics stores, devices are sold at a price of 500 to 2000 rubles. On the built-in LED indicator or screen, it displays the POST codes indicating one or another equipment malfunction. In the event that no codes are charged regardless of which slot is inserted, the problem is in the failed motherboard.

When the above symptoms appear on your computer, the probability that the motherboard is faulty. When choosing a new motherboard, it is important that you can use all components of the PC if possible.
