| 442791 | 2006-04-20 09:10:00 | Yeah, its the motherboard. You can see the capacitors all swollen and leaking yellow stuff. Plus PC will POST now with new motherboard whetheres old one wouldnt. Sweep: perhaps I didn't reinstall the heatsink properly? There was a square of gel stuff that sits between the heatsink and CPU. And it looks like its all melted away. Maybe the heat isn't being transfered to the heatsink; causing this problem? |

| 442793 | 2006-04-20 09:15:00 | I did think stuff windows not loading... then I put in the windows disk and tried to boat that.. but after the "press any key to boot" it stops with a blakc screen. CD-ROM LED no activity. | JimboJones (1680) | ||
| 442794 | 2006-04-20 09:21:00 | MONITOR PLUGGED INTO THE FX5200 IN THE CASE!!!! | JimboJones (1680) | ||
| 442795 | 2006-04-20 09:21:00 | have you tried your old harddrive again? maybe the motherboard is incompatable with your cpu or psu. i think what the guy was saying is that it would be better to buy a new computer than repair the capacitors.. | jamesyboi (6579) | ||
| 442796 | 2006-04-20 09:22:00 | Something that I noticed was that the CPU temp was reading 55 degrees. Is this normal? If this is the ASUS mobo, the FAQ for this mobo says: Why does the CPU temperature detected in BIOS H/W Monitor a little higher than in Windows? It is normal. When Windows is idle, OS will put the CPU into the low-power states(C1,C2 or C3 state). But in BIOS setup , the CPU cannot support these states. So the CPU temperature detected in BIOS H/W Monitor will be several Celsius Degrees higher than in Windows. FX in the case!!! Take it out, and see if plugging the monitor into the onboard is better. Whats the speed of the CPU?? Hopefully the CPU isn't 400 mhz, since according to the FAQ again. Can A7S8X-MX support AMD Athlon 3200+ (FSB 400MHz) CPU? No, the Front Side Bus of A7S8X-MX only supports 266Mhz & 333Mhz. Because AMD Athlon 3200+ is FSB 400Mhz CPU, therefore A7S8X-MX would not support this CPU. |

| 442797 | 2006-04-20 09:33:00 | Yes, its an ASUS mobo. CPU is a AMD Athlon 1.6ghz. Don't know about the FSB. | JimboJones (1680) | ||
| 442798 | 2006-04-20 09:39:00 | quite some time ago i had a problem the same as this , pc would just reboot randomly , end the end i was able to fix the problem by turning of S.M.A.R.T disc for the drives in the bios, for some reason this used to hang my system and then randomly reboot it. This was for a old duron 900mhz (Hey it was very speedy in the days i had it) , anyway something else you could try | presso (10113) | ||
| 442799 | 2006-04-20 10:17:00 | I'm worried now. I took out the fx and pluged the monitor on the inbuilt graphics. Same thing. I then plugged in my old Geforce 2 card. cept as soon as I plug in the power cord the computer starts up. Very strange. I'm starting to get worried I fried the mobo with static or something. |
