I have a soyo dragon mobo with an athlon xp 190+ cpu and a 350w psu.
Recently I shut the system down and now when I turn it on you can hear everything start up but nothing ever happens (no video...) Normally I have to hold insert to bypass the cpu fan speed checking (I have a large-fast fan) now I get no error beeps.
--I know the video card is good (I tried it in another unit)
--I tried starting-up with just video and memory, same result
--When I pull memory out I get the appropriate beeps.
--Clearing the bios yields different results, once it got the bios options and froze, once it gave an ORANGE screen?
Is the mobo/cpu toast? And how can I be sure?
Thanks...
The problem is always with the last thing you check ... so start there first.<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by gt_cmpe on 07/31/02 03:19 PM.</EM></FONT></P>
