HELP needed! MoBo replaced, but no video or beep codes! [ecs k7s5a] [kt133a]
Q: I swapped my MoBo is a Gigabyte board KT133a the ECS K7S5A board.
i thought the board was in good condition, but . .
i press the power button, the CD-ROM burning (about 10 seconds and then off and then)
the FDD u0026 Lite remains lit, but put a disk in and try it doesnt u0026 it.
theres not read pictures, , the flicker of the monitor stand, but not for long.
theres no keyboard illumination at all,
the LAN cards “light flashes per normal.
the fans going
i unplugged all IDE cables and the CD-ROM FDDs u0026″ LEDs light up and off as a normal boot.
but above theres no beep codes all.
the speaker cable is connected, but no internal sound card on all.
makes me things are set up ok, but cannot get a picture or any beeps
i Im beginning to think that the board Administrative damaged?
anyone had this before?
i have cleared CMOS RAM .
checked u0026 VGA (often I get caught)
thanx for any help, a bit of a rush to back up my system u0026 running, you know
Best Answer: Two beeps, usually RAM issues. Try each stick of memory alone.
Re:what do you mean by grounding out ???
am running a 300watt Aopen.
its powered my Gigabyte board in there no troubles,
have tried turning it on without any IDE devices attach & uplugged one of the system fans too, no difference
Re:if the cpu from the other computer was damaged, it doesn't necessarily mean the mobo wasn't at fault, the voltage regulator could have beeen fried if it was hit by lightning, or it could have been ESD'd. I would try for an RMA
also are you absolutely sure the motherboard isn't partially grounding out on one of the standoffs? maybe one is offset?
Re:Well here is a quick question for you: What size PSU are you currently using to try and power the mobo?
Re:right , so ya think its a hardware problem hey
everything was working fine an hour ago with my other board in there….
the board was suspect, but was working, had replaced but then found the system it came froms' CPU was damaged, so this board has been sitting in the spare room for a month, thought i'd use it seeings it had SD & DDR
would make my transfer to DDR cheaper having the board already.
anyway i diegress,
if its hardware, my first suspect then is of course the MoBo,
dunno why it was working in the system it came from then……..
Re:Try reseatting the RAM and video card. If that doesnt solve it then I agree with this:
<< i am beginning to think the board is damaged ???? >>
I had the same exact problem with my second ECS k7s5a and I tried 2 PSUs, 2 cpus, 4 sticks of ram, and 2 video cards. I even built the entire comp out of case on wood to make sure it wasnt being shorted out. It turns out there was a problem with the mobo so I had to RMA it.
