| LoRd | When waking up one morning, I discovered that there was a frozen Windows Explorer window on my screen so I rebooted my computer. The computer failed to reboot, displaying the BIOS logo screen and then freezing after the first status message appeared displaying my CPU information. I turned off the computer, reseated the memory and cleared the CMOS via the on-board jumper. The computer then failed to start at all. I've removed all of the components, and purchased a new power supply. After installing a POSTCard, I've discovered that the system haults before even entering POST (0x00). Does this entail the demise of my motherboard or may there be another possible problem that I am currently unaware of? | October 11, 2006, 9:55 PM |
| dRAgoN | It sounds more like your chip burnt out, if it were the board you shouldent have seen anything on starting it. Now since you have played with the mother board I would suggest sending it in to the shop and haveing it looked at closer. What kind of cooling settup do you have in this tower btw. | October 12, 2006, 10:41 PM |
| LoRd | If the CPU failed, wouldn't the problem be addressed during POST? | October 13, 2006, 3:36 AM |
| Topaz | [quote author=Lord[nK] link=topic=15857.msg159760#msg159760 date=1160710585] If the CPU failed, wouldn't the problem be addressed during POST? [/quote] Unless it was a simultaneous failure, which seems unlikely. | October 13, 2006, 4:26 AM |
