748254 2009-02-15 22:48:00 What would stop the PC from continuing to boot?

It gets to the Gigabyte Screen where I can Press Delete Key or several other options but Del key does nothing and it goes no further.

Was working fine up until now:-(

Gigabyte X48T-DQ6 Board

Can you get to bios/ or tap f8 to get to safe mode?
If you can't, you can try resetting the cmos?

748256 2009-02-15 23:15:00 Sounds like what happened to mine last week. The hdd died.

But, I could get into the BIOS tho. Thats when I found out, that the BIOS wasnt detecting the hdd.

So, I connected the hdd to another system, the BIOS didnt detect the hdd either. It was dead

I would connect the hdd to a working system and see if the BIOS detects it

748257 2009-02-15 23:16:00 Can't get as far as Bios screen. Tried the Del Key

It might be a Bios Reset required maybe.
Tried pulling the ram and trying them one by one made no difference.

Everything sounds fine, the normal single post beep then nothing past that point after the Gigabyte screen

748258 2009-02-15 23:41:00 HDD is fine I have checked that and disconnected the other two
Normally at the Gigabyte screen (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) I can hit Del key but nothing happening. Also tried a different keyboard same same.

I assume I need to pull the bios battery before clearing CMos, I am not sure. I did try shorting out the jumpers but that made no difference either, but did not take out the battery.

748259 2009-02-16 00:35:00 CMOS reset made no difference.
Switched out graphic card for an old PCI one, no difference.

Might be down to Motherboard, CPU or PSU now I guess:-(

748260 2009-02-16 02:08:00 Try another PSU.

I would test that one first

748261 2009-02-16 02:20:00 Problem solved.

USB Hub was freezing it up. I never unplugged the hub, but was sitting there and happened to see the Webcam and Hub plugged in, removed them and all was sweet, threw on another Hub and it was back to normal.

I remember that exact Hub brand/Model doing the same on me about a year ago

748262 2009-02-16 06:15:00 What brand model? gary67 (56)
748263 2009-02-16 08:10:00 What brand model?

Belkin 7 Port Hub F5U237ea
This is the Second one that has caused freeze ups, I just forgot about the first one as it was a while back. I have 5 other Belkin Hubs that are ok. (Well they are at the moment and different models)
