I have tried everything I know , but now need help !!
when I reboot I get frozen at the logo/splash screen . The machine doesn't progress to the post screen
I get one very short beep BEFORE the logo screen appears which I believe means a successful post. The hard drive starts spinning and the gigabyte logo screen appears, but doesnt then progress to the post screen.
Hitting del,tab,f12 etc has no effect. I've tried a ps2 keyboard and a usb keyboard
Heres what I've tried:
I've disconnected all sata,ide and usb devices , leaving only memory and keyboard and mouse (ps2 connectors)
I've
1)powered down,
2)removed power cable
3)held down power on button to drain board
4) removed cmos battery for 1 hour.
5) connected 'clear cmos' pins for 1 hour
6) unpinned 'clear cmos' and replaces battery
7) powered on
but still the same..
If I remove the 2*2Gb kingston dimms then the screen remains black ( no logo screen)
If I boot with only one 2Gb dimm,I am still frozen at the logo screen as before.Ditto if I use the other dimm
When I plug in ps2 mouse and keyboard,the optical mouse lights up for a split second then the light goes off. The 'f' led (function?) on my logitech ps2 keyboard stays lit, but as I said , no keys such as tab,del,f12,end have any effect.
Both the 24 pin and 8 pin power cables have been connected ( and rechecked)
This is a HTPC machine that had been working fine for 3 years..
Any other ideas appreciated
