Hi guys.
I was running an amd fx 8320 on an MSI board when all went dead.Seems as though it tries to power up for about a millisecond, cpu fan tries to turn but immediately quits , no other signs of power. after isolating the board and swapping out a known good PSU I came to the conclusion I had a dead mobo or cpu. Hoping for the lesser of two evils I ordered a replacement motherboard .I received an ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0. This board powered up, cpu fan , LED on the board ect , but no signal to screen and no beep codes. After extensive research on here and other places , talking to local repair shops and talking to ASUS tech support, i`m left scratching my head. First off, I did go through all steps on this site for mobo diagnosis, isolated board down to PSU, 1 stick of ram, and cpu ect. still no beeps (had to go buy a mobo speaker as my case did not have one , I might ask that if someone asks me about no beep codes. ). Now here is the curious part. ASUS tech said if board is isolated down to CPU and 1 stick ram and no graphics card with a known good PSU and you get no beeps it is the CPU because the CPU is first in the POST chain. Sounds logical so I went to local pc repair place and they let me swap out the CPU with one of theirs. Still no beep. The tech there said try it with no CPU and it should beep . This goes against what the ASUS tech said ,but I figured I would try. Still no beep . This tech swears the mobo must be bad since no CPU and no beep. But again this is exact opposite of what the ASUS tech said. Not knowing what else to do I went ahead and RMA`d for a new ASUS board which I am now waiting for , but I cant help the feeling I will get the new board and have the same results. Does anyone here have any thoughts on this beep code with and without a CPU thing???? Sorry so long but I wanted to explain all I did thus far as to not waste anyone`s time with the basics.
Thanks,
Dave
