Hi again, folks! A few days ago, I had occasion to "transplant" the innards of my PC from my old Cooler Master case into a new Ultra Gladiator case. The components are as follows:
Biostar G41D-M7 mobo
LGA 775 Core 2 Duo @ 3.0 GHz.
4GB DDR2 RAM
Seagate 1TB HDD
Radeon XT1600
Asus Xonar DG sound card
generic 4-port PCI USB card
Windows 10 Technical Preview
400 watt PSU
All components were running fine--that is, UNTIL they got moved to the new case! Now, when I try to power up the system, it refuses to detect the hard drive! The BIOS screen simply shows NO hard drives being detected!
I've checked all the connections, and as far as I can tell, they're all correct. The memory is also plugged in correctly. What is NOT correct, however, is the position of the "clear CMOS" jumper. In fact,it's the exact opposite of what the mobo's documentation says it should be! When I reversed the jumper to its supposedly "correct" position, however, the system utterly refuses to power up at all! What has me scratching my head, however, is that this board is virtually brand new, and was working perfectly with the jumper set "backwards" UNTIL I moved it to the new case! It's too late for me to send it back in for a refund, I'm afraid, and while I have most all of my data backed up on an external drive, it's beginning to look like I may need to get yet another mobo after only 6 months! Since I'm on a fixed income, I really don't want to go that route unless I absolutely have to. Is this mobo defective, or what?
