Answer» My build was done last year... ....If I buy a new mobo can I just plug in my system drive and all my original componets that work and not have to reinstall everything? Provided that you buy the same board... Quote from: acoustic5679 on June 05, 2008, 10:30:47 AM Thanks for the replys. I am currently replacing my OCZ PSU that is under warrenty so thats cool. Hopefully it will solve the problemGood luck! And keep us posted! Have you resolved your issue? So, you have been replacing components, moving components in and out? Each time do you go into your bios to make sure that the computer has recognized the component(s). Check to see if you have a jbat1 or a reset. If jumpered usually with a different color, like white of read, with one exposed prong and two covered. covering the other two prongs for an instant resets your cmos settings to factory default. If you decide to replace your mobo you do not have to get the same exact board, just make sure that all your components are compatible. When you turn your computer off by the power switch in the back of the power supply instead of using the power switch on the front of the computer, you are essentially interrupting the power source not turning it off. Its the same as a power outage. You loose unsaved data that way. You may want to check your RETURN TO STATE AFTER POWER LOSS. When you only installed 2 out of 4 memory sticks, did you install them starting with BANK 0. Also did you remove those same 2 sticks and replace them with the other two sticks, each time checking bios/cmos to make sure they are recognized. Sometimes it takes more than one boot to be recognized. However, they must be recognized before you proceed. If 2 sticks are required to make a bank then you must insert 2 sticks at a time. I hope you are practicing safe repairs/diagnostics. Wearing a ground strap, turning the computer completely off (DISCONNECTING power cord), discharging yourself before handling sticks, etc. When you switched the ram did the second PAIR work in those slots?. Then you plugged all four in and it didn't work, correct? Did you try putting the ram in the first two slots (farthest from the edge)? Each time checking to make sure the computer recognized the memory? Do you have a cmos battery?I just got my power supply back. Well, it was part of the problem because my video card fan is being powered now where as before it wasn't. my bios is still not booting up though. I have tried moving the memory around, but still no luck. usually the computer/mobo beaps on start up and then bios starts loading. all the fans and components are being powered now with the new power supply. I do wear a anti static strap whenever messing with the insides. I do have a reset jumper for reseting CMOS but I am unclear as to how to do it. I have messed with jumper settings on harddrives, so I am assuming I need that plastic thing that goes over the pins in order to reset it? The reset has 2 pins and it says I have to short them. I did remove the battery for 1 minute and put it back in, but no success. It still will not boot up to bios. Other then that I can't seem to figure out what else it could be.If you do a self test with only mobo>1 stick or ram > video card hooked up to monitor>and power supply>prossor & heat sink installed>Then short your power switch with a small screwdriver , if you get no signal from monitor I would say it is your Motherboard, this is assuming you are sure your power supply is good?SORRY THIS TEST IS DONE OUT OF THE CASEHow many times and what type of beeps does the bios GIVE? Is it like 5 short 5 long, something like htat. BIOS beeps is a message from the BIOS trying to tell you what's wrong. I'm sure the more tech savvy people here can determine what the beeps mean.It is not beeping at allIf he cant see a display on monitor after the self test it is a hardware PBLM.Did you do the test i suggested?I am sure the power supply is good. how do I short the power supply with a screw driver?Try to power-on your computer without your harddisks... |
