I recently had a computer that woundn't start up. The fans on the CPU and PS spin for a breif second and then stop. I replaced the PS and I still get the same results. I put that probelm aside and continued to use my other PC. Two weeks after the first PC issue the same thing happened to my second PC. I have rest the cmos in both machines, but still the same reslts. I did notice that by removing the 4Pin 12v power from the motherboards the PS fan will continue to run after power on but No CPU fan activity. Does the 4Pin 12v ATX PS connection supply power for the CPU? If so, Is it possible I have 2 dead CPU's on two different machines? What are the chances? I any confused......
