My five month old GA-8IK1100 Rev 2.1 motherboard quit this morning. No
video, no post beeps. Fan and HD running, memory LED on MB lit, on
board NIC lit and traffic light flashing. Reseated CPU and all PS
connectors, removed all peripheral cards including the AGP. No joy.

Is there any easy way to isolate this to the CPU vs. the MB so I can
figure out which one to RMA?

I'm getting the same exact problem.

In my case, the hard drive wont turn on, and no signal to the monitor is going.

Had to switch back to the old mobo.

Try flashing your bios. This will set your CMOS back to factory settings. If that dosn't help then i can't think of wnything else.

List your PC stats.



How do I flash it? floppy?

I pulled my hair out with this problem when building my current computer. I have an AMD X2 4400+ with a GTX 7800 video card. I tried all the things you mentioned and the bottom line was that my power supply was under powered. I was using a 500W Thermaltake and it just didn't have the juice to run all the top of the line components. I purchased a new premium power supply (PC Power and Cooling Turbo-Cool 510 SLI Power) and everything turned right on. Your power supply may have been on the hairy edge all this time and just finally crapped out. Unfortunately no local store will carry a really good power supply so you'll have to go order one.

That might be true if:

1) I was running top of the line components (or not 3 years old components for that matter)

2) I wasn't running 800watts total power.

3) The one 500 watt psu alone still works in with the other motherboard.
