| 275033 | 2004-10-08 11:12:00 | ok, put in the video card (PCI) turned it on... no beeps! but no display either ?:| The LCD screen on the monitor says signal fail. |

| 275034 | 2004-10-08 11:14:00 | Did you look up what that series of beeps relates to? | metla (154) | ||
| 275035 | 2004-10-08 11:25:00 | Do you have a "known good" video card? | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 275036 | 2004-10-08 13:28:00 | If i remember, this thing has onboard display, play with that and the jumpers for it and the agp see what happens. Ten try new std display card in all slots and with all jumper combinations. There is some form of life. Be systematic in your eliminations. Clear comos before you start. This thing could have CIH, D. |

| 275037 | 2004-10-08 13:29:00 | >Did you look up what that series of beeps relates to? Ya mean a page back? That was for awardbios. Google...... Ok thats strange, I just went to listen to the beeps again and I took out the PCIVGA, left the cable unplugged, it did its beeps, but i plugged the cable in to onboard, and it started working... This after leaving the cmos battery out since my last post. Weird... we've tried all that before and now it works... something must be shorting it underneath... I'm gonna leave this post, and see if I can keep it going but if I can't i'll come back... >Do you have a "known good" video card? Not known but highly likely... |

| 275038 | 2004-10-08 13:35:00 | Get the F@#$%&^&*(~g thing to run. With an O/S on the bench! Before touching the display, or any other pci again! Then you can go forward, and back if there are problems. D. |

| 275039 | 2004-10-09 10:23:00 | I managed to get win2k loaded which had been installed when the thing worked... However with either RAM sticks after about 10 minutes of windows booting and logging in, it crashes to a BSOD whining about a Physical Memory Dump ?:| Now, I went to start it up again to reinstall windows, and the hard drive was making a noise like the platters were scrapping on the inner casing... about every two seconds it goes brrr.. brrr... brrr and sometimes brrrrrbr. Very strange I think this motherboard is a hardware killer? x( Is it possible that when and if the motherboard was shorting to something on the case, this in turn damaged the RAM? Very very strange goings on here... I believe paranormal powers to be at large. Everytime I get anywhere something else happens... WTF? |

| 275040 | 2004-10-09 10:36:00 | Willie, If I remember correctly, a cat (Probably displeased with its care givers) deposited a volume of liquid on the original unit . How much of the H/W is from that unit and contaminated? This stuff (no likeey liquideee you knoweee) ' Put ram else were memtest . get h/d test utility for that brand, you know the story . From where did the "replacement" mobo arrive, Via the local deceased Estate Auction perhaps? Perhaps the owner just has bad Karma . Put memory and h/d in warm dry place for a while perhaps? D . . |

When the MB was removed from your Dads PC was there any brown colured washers between the MB and the mounting posts ( if metal ) or are you using plastic stand offs? |
