Ok, this is a bit bizarre thing.
I built pc and for some time I'll have no access to any monitor.
And of course it won't start up.
Bad thing is case and motherboard have no system speaker, so I can't diagnose through BIOS signals.
I describe you the symptoms, and you respond what it can be (or send me off until monitor is available - I'll understand):
1. Everything is connected and the case is closed.
2. Long ago BIOS was set to use ONBOARD video adapter. But I took out battery and placed it back few hour ago.
3. When I push the POW button, POW LED lights up, HDD LED blinks few times, all fans spin.
4. Connected Keyboard remains "silent" - numlock, capslock, scroll lock LEDs don't light up or blink.
5. After ~1 minute pc restarts itself and will go on with restarting itself again and again in the same time period.
6. I switch off pc by holding down POW button for several seconds. Sometimes it starts itself back, but second attempt to switch it off ALWAYS success.
7. I took aff cpu cooler right after switching off and touched CPU - its body temperature.
what's going on?
p.s.: i have PCI videocard inserted, but start without it gave the same result.
p.p.s: okkkkkk here are the specs:
Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2C
Pentium 4 2.8 GHz
Geforce 8500GT
Transcend DDR2 1.5 GB
Seagate 7200rpm 160 GB
Powerman 300W
