Hello,
My PC is 2 y.o. One day, after waking from a sleep, it softly rebooted by itself and then...
10 from 11 times I've a problem booting. The symptoms are different and occur randomly:
1) endless reboots before POST beep
2) endless reboots after POST beep
3) POST beep and 9 consecutive beeps
4) no POST beep and no booting up.
In any case there's no image on display.
I've bought a new MB and installed a new CPU cooler.
Also, I've another working PC as reference - I used its parts for crosschecking.
I've tried the following:
1) replacing the RAM with working one
2) replacing the GPU with working one
3) replacing the PSU with working one
4) disconnecting HDs
5) disconnecting all PCI cards
6) disconnecting all front panel switches and LEDs
7) disconnecting front panel USB and audio
8) checked that there's no metallic part to shorten the MB from behind.
The symptoms reoccurred randomly in any of the mentioned tests.
I've no more ideas to check
MB: Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L rev. 1.1
BIOS: Award's F6
CPU: Intel E5200 2.5Ghz
RAM: 2 x DDR2 OCZ 2GB 400Mhz
PSU: Thermaltake 430W
GPU: NVidia Geforce 9500 GT
I'm desperate Please help!
Thank you!
