Mobo trouble

ConTRo13R · 24 Sep 2008 at 13:34

I have myself a second hand Striker II Extreme, but it fails to do anything.

What i do get is lights, fans, hdd's all on when i press power switch but no display on my monitor!

What could be the problem here, having done all the usual taking components out repalcing them one by one and that, but cant seem to figure it out!

Any help?

what does the little LCD at the back say CPU INIT?

RJC · 24 Sep 2008 at 13:41

Can you test any of the components in another pc.
Does the board need a BIOS update to work with the cpu you have installed.

ConTRo13R · 24 Sep 2008 at 14:18

no lcd poster at the back! and yes all components work on my p5k board

i think maybe it does but the board doesn't display anything on screen! so cant flash it really

ConTRo13R · 24 Sep 2008 at 14:22

Oh i see it didn't come with the mobo then? who did you buy it off? Demand it

it might tell you what the problem is.

Have you Cleared the CMOS?

sounds stupid but have you put the 4/8 pin power lead on the mobo? i had the similar prob as you and it turned out to be that?

lol did chuckle but yes its in there! lol

Oh and apparently it was an oem and what i got is what he got, but also theres a bend in the corner of the mobo not sure if that culd be the problem?

Could be

it might be dead man

have you tried to clear the CMOS

ConTRo13R · 24 Sep 2008 at 17:12

yep cleared cmos, so if it dead (which i think it is) where do i stand having bought it second hand?

domthecondom · 25 Sep 2008 at 12:07

How did you clear the CMOS?

sorry i tried it the bog standard way before but its a tad differet on a striker!

Where did you buy the MOBO 2?

ConTRo13R · 25 Sep 2008 at 13:01

bought 2nd hand, cleared cmos with button on back

domthecondom · 25 Sep 2008 at 13:14

so you pressed the button, swapped the jumper to clear CMOS took the battery out, put the battery back in swapped the jumper back and pressed the button again?

who did you buy second hand off?

ConTRo13R · 25 Sep 2008 at 16:23

there isn't a jumper to switch over no, but also took the battery out too, left for 30secs and replaced

pastymuncher · 25 Sep 2008 at 19:06

You did'nt buy it off one of these sellers on the bay selling so called liquidated stock did you?

ConTRo13R · 25 Sep 2008 at 19:08

Not the bay nope, it doesn't matter where it came from lol i want it fixed

I think the best thing would be for you to try and get your money back. It's obviously broken. Just don't let him blame you for breaking it.

Whats the rest of your spec? It may need a bios flash if youre using a very recent CPU

Do the rest of your components work on your 680i board?

ConTRo13R · 25 Sep 2008 at 22:55

All my componenets work yes.

Q6600
2Gb reaper pc6400
x-fi elite
8800gtx *2
150GB raptor

the problem is nothing displays on the monitor! so cant flash it because i cant see it lol

cant even get to bios, no beeps, though asus boards don't beep on post do they (correct me if wrong)
