| 375603 | 2005-07-26 10:52:00 | Think I may have a dead Mo/Bo or CPU on my hands ... PC Chips M925 motherboard with P4 1.6GHZ cpu 768MB DDR266 RAM (2 sticks) XP Pro no floppy no optical drives 2 hard drives on primary IDE channel I have just shifted house and started up PC to check it post-shifting -- started okay 1st time but froze after about 5 minutes -- rebooted via the reset switch and that's when the problems started! PC won't boot or beep -- PSU is fine/HDD light is displaying okay but definitely no beeps at POST stage or a successful boot up! Have taken out RAM sticks and tried one stick at a time without any success. PC will power up and CPU/PSU fans running fine but that's it. Any suggestions/hints??!!! |

| 375606 | 2005-07-26 21:43:00 | Yes, have you tried another PSU? I had one yesterday that was faulty - the 4pin connector to the MB was not giving power properly. | pctek (84) | ||
| 375607 | 2005-07-26 23:44:00 | Make sure the reset button is not stuck in or disconnect reset cable from mainboard to be sure. | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 375608 | 2005-07-27 06:30:00 | No beeps can somtimes be ram too - try different slots? | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 375609 | 2005-07-27 06:36:00 | Well no, not all systems beep on bootup, like this one . Coz ASUS were stupid enough to make it, (with this mobo), so every USB device u had connected to it, made the system beep lol . ie: If u had 5-6 USB devices connected, it would beep 5-6 times . So, ASUS killed the beep completely (with a BIOS update), to stop ppl getting confused on whether the beeps were a prob, or because they had a lot of USB devices connected . |
