Hi all,
My computer was working great before I went away, but I have just come back after 4 weeks out at sea, and now it does not work. I need some guidance.
When I turn the computer on, nothing much happens except the fans are running, 2 digit messages scrolling through and some motherboard lights.
Motherboard lights (In theory, if off, good, but I think that depends on how far it gets with the boot):
CPU - not lit
VGA - lit, and after every 4 seconds flickers of and back on very quickly.
DRAM - When VGA light flickers off for a very short period this light turns on for a very short period.
Boot - not lit
Debug LED messages (I think I have captured them all):
14 - Reserved
15 - Pre-memory north-bridge initialisation started
3E - PCH PEI initialisation
48 - can’t find in manual
65 - CPU DXE initialisation is started (I think)
67 - CPU DXE initialisation is started
92 - PCI Bus initialisation is started
C0 - Reserved
I don’t get any beep sounds.
I get nothing on my monitors. I have not got a spare graphics card, so might have to get a cheep one tomorrow. I have reseated the graphics card as well.
I have tried with just one memory dimm.
I have reset the cmos...
That’s it so far. I don’t know why it suddenly does not work (power surge when I was away?) Any ideas or suggestions?
