Hi everybody,
Yesterday, I wanted to upgrade my media center PC (install Win7 and install new RAM)
I installed the RAM no problem, the PC booted and I checked the new 2Gb were installed properly. Then, I booted the PC from the CD and now is when it went crazy; one screw fell onto the MB close to the CPU, I took it as I could since it was quite hot. Then, the PC shut itself down automatically.
Now, each time that I try to boot, I get no beeps, no display in the monitor, the HD and CD rom remain lit an active but nothing happens. The PC restarts all time automatically after a couple of minutes approx.
I have unplug all the unnecessary devices for booting and now I have only the PSU, CPU, MB and the case.
Before I unscrewed the MB (GIGABYTE GA-EG41MF-S2H) from the case to check for short circuits, any idea of what is going on? Does the screw story make any sense at all? The fact is that that media center has been running for approx a year till I opened the case yesterday
Does this look like a MB problem ?
Thanks
