| 741642 | 2009-01-24 20:11:00 | as I got the motherboard off trademe as is where is from someone who did the same but never tested it as they brought a new computer instead I would try and test the powersupply but I don't really have a spare mobo laying around that I would be willing to risk damaging if the powersupply is faulty is there any other way to test it? as for the spacers I think I left a couple out by mistake but it wasn't touching the case I don't think. |

| 741643 | 2009-01-24 20:27:00 | This is a long shot but try resetting the BIOS - remove the CMOS battery for about 10 minutes, or using the Jumper thats right next to the Battery move from the two pins its currently on to the reset position then put back as they were and this will reset the BIOS as well. got the motherboard off trademe as is AS IS could mean Dead as |

| 741644 | 2009-01-26 01:59:00 | I will try resetting the bios then and yes the mobo is looking to be the culprit whether I stuffed it or it was DOA is another matter. | zarx (13402) | ||
| 741645 | 2009-01-26 02:05:00 | WT - The PSU is the one I sold him. Silverstone OP650w, brand new, so doubt it is that. I'm concerned about the mobo as is where is!.....and lack of stand offs! | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 741646 | 2009-01-26 02:08:00 | Definitley the motherboard would be a bit sus. Highly unlikely to be the PSU but anythings possible. You could try re-seating the RAM. |

| 741647 | 2009-01-26 02:08:00 | zarx, what a shame you didnt state you were after a mobo and cpu!, I gave my WORKING Gigabyte KS939ultra with 3500+ Newcastle to the mother-in-law yesterday! | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 741648 | 2009-01-26 04:17:00 | Okay Sol - at least the PSU is good :thumbs: One other way of testing the board in case its shorting on something is to take it out of the case, attach only whats required to get a boot - PSU, RAM, Monitor , Kb/Mouse and graphic Card if using one or OB graphics if not . Place on a anti static bag, and look at the front header pins, locate the two that the On Switch was connected to and short them with a small screwdriver ( same thing the Power switch does basically) if the boards OK it should boot up and show on the screen - then complain about no drives . |

| 741649 | 2009-01-26 22:51:00 | so it appears to be something to do with the graphics card as it shows some life with it removed but I don't have a replacement card or a inbuilt one I can't be 100% sure and I did have most of the stand-offs in I was just missing two (found one) but anyway looks like the pci-e slot or the graphics card pity it's worth a lot more than the old mobo that I bought cheap. | zarx (13402) | ||
| 741650 | 2009-01-27 07:40:00 | is the extra power plug, into the 8800 plugged in? | dbs (8785) | ||
| 741651 | 2009-01-27 10:43:00 | yup it was in (I took it back out) if only it was that simple. | zarx (13402) | ||
