ok folks, we have 2 FIC AZ11 motherboard and 900mhz oem processors, we're both at this point using 3 year old pci video cards. My machine doesnt even get to a POST screen anymore, and the other one occasionally gets there. Mine has a 512 meg High Density 133 dimm in it, the other has 160 megs of pc100 ram, we've both tried different ram, video combos, with nothing else in the systems, i've even gone so far as to check voltages randomly on the board, all within nominal ranges, +/- .1 VDC roughly. Only thing we havent tried is another motherboard and proccessor, which we dont have.. Any Suggestions?

Thanks :)
Torind.

Are these slot CPU's or socket? I've had this happen 3 times on my slot-a Athlon board. Somehow my CPU would work it's way out (partially) and wouldn't post anymore. First time it happened it took me about 2 hours to locate the problem because 30min before it was working fine! It must have move that last micrometer...never know check it out.

BTW, socket CPU's shouldn't have this problem obviously...

Catheter and Caffeine IV are in place. Let's PLAY.
