But, in the time between 1990 and now I have seen the following cause a board\system to show no boot and no beep:
missing floppy
missing or mis-seated stick one of RAM
Wrong kind of RAM
missing HD
mis-seated CPU (but CPU was good)
PSU set for 220 instead of 110 (international PSU)
mis-connected IDE cable
lightning zapped modem (rest of computer was fine, lightning was far away and surge propagated quite a distance)
lightning zapped NIC (half of computer was fried, closer lightning hit)
bad\shorted mobo
bad CPU
I fix computers others try to build, and also build, and specify, and fix computers hit by lightning and bill and get $20.00 an hour NET.
Originally posted by HackingGuru Valkyr, You do not have a Bad MOTHERBOARD! It only needs 350watts. I build computers as my perfession for Alienware. The problem lies with your CPU, when ever the comptuer hangs no signal its a bad CPU. Replace that and bang it will work. A lot of people mistaken this.
Actually the CPU is just fine. I tested it in my NF7-S and not only did it post, but it loaded everything perfectly. I also tried plugging the IDE & Floppy in, but with no success.
I am going for swordsman KT7-A Raid and hopefully that will fix this annoying problem.
25 fee and just ship the board to them would be the total cost.
