Answer» My motherboard sometimes halts upon boot-up with varying LEDs on... (P8P67 Pro Rev 1.01)
The motherboard has LED lights for GPU/CPU/RAM/Boot Devices and sometimes when i Power on PC it halts with one of these LEDs staying on. I'm guessing it is a motherboard issue because of the VARIETY and randomness of LEDs that it stops on.
Could my board be faulty? Does anyone know of a way of testing this with some software INSTEAD of having to take out bits etc?
cheersIt could be, power supply, motherboard, or RAM.
I'd check motherboard and look for any leaking or swollen capacitors. Next I'd check the voltage levels of the power supply or swap out the power supply and SEE if that fixes the issue. Boot the system off of memtest86 and run memory testing to make sure the RAM is healthy as well.
Most of the TIME its the power supply, however it could be a capacitor or other motherboard issue. Most RAM issues at boot will give a POST ERROR beep code. If it makes it past POST boot it will cause the OS to malfunction etc.The LED lighting sequences are listed in your MBoard mManual...that should narrow it down.
