Hi,
Just wondering if anyone else has seen this problem with the SY-KT880 Dragon
2 motherboard, or if anyone else has any ideas of what may be causing it?
I replaced my SY-KT400 with this board and once powered up it all works
fine, but on power on it will often (usually?) run for a few seconds and
then turn off again. It also sometimes does the same and powers off on
system reset or restart. I thought it was a faulty board so I retuned it for
a replacement, but the new one does the same, although apparently not so
frequently. I'd guess that it will successfully power up on in two attempts
(the first one was maybe 1 in 4) and once powered up it runs just fine.
Everthing else in the system was working fine on the old board before it
died. I have an Enermax 480Watt CoolerGiant PSU, and tried switching it out
for a different one with no effect. I also tried disconnecting all the
drives, CD-ROMs etc, again with no effect. I also switched out the processor
fan in case there's a problem with the fan detection, but there's no warning
beep so I doubt that's the cause anyway.
Any ideas?
Ian
