Hello,

sorry if this has been addressed already in the past but a quick search didn't found anything.

The issue is that my system, an Intel Core i7 920 built on an ASUS P6T Deluxe V2, doesn't want to boot.

I have tested several things:

- Removed everything but the CPU: I get the warning beeps for a faulty memory.
- Tested processor and VGA in another system and they seem to work perfectly.
- Tested another PSU, mobo won't POST either.

Thing is that all these facts leads me to think I've got a faulty mobo. I'm in the process of making a deeper analysis, removing everything including the battery and making a CLEAR CMOS. But I do have a couple of questions:

- Can a faulty mobo beep giving warnings for other missing components?
- Can a faulty CMOS battery prevent the mobo to POST?

And finally, if the final outcome is a dead motherboard, as of today, are there real alternatives in the market for my Intel i7 920?

Thanks for your expertise,
Cheers,
Jaime

well, for starters, you can still buy X58 motherboards as they are the only type for your socket (LGA 1366). There is currently no remake motherboard type for your socket, as it's too old and there has been nothing since.

1) A motherboard can give warnings for missing components if faulty

2) A CMOS battery won't stop a PC from booting, if faulty.

Outcome, there are two final cause for me, main one is the motherboard but another follow up is the power supply. You may think; fans move (if they do) and other things start then "it must be working", this is not always the case and a faulty PSU can still supply power to fans and other devices, a faulty PSU does not always mean blown up PSU, just a not normally functioning PSU.
