Lo folks, my system:
Athlon 64 3200+
K8VSE Deluxe
2GiG Geil Value Ram
X850XT
X-Fi Soundcard
320W Power supply
Various peripherals: Trackir, Pedals, Joystick, Throttle, Headphone (all USB)
Yesterday switched on comp, no post just blank screen. Thought it might be the graphics card so swapped that out still no post. Changed monitor still no post. Switched around ram, took out everything but graphics card, keyboard and mouse and still no post.Then weirdly it booted once hadnt done anything different it just booted. Switched it off and had the same problem ever since. Ive tried removing the battery on the MB no luck.
THis morning, whilst the comp was switched off the following message popped up on my monitor: EEPROM INIT? D:Yes U:NO - course the keyboard wasnt working so couldnt test that out.
Symptoms: switch on power, fans spin, anything usb gets power but doesnt boot, for instance all the lights on my X52 joystick light up and disappear on boot, now they just stay on. Monitor doesnt activate but stays on standby.
Is my MB toast or am I missing something? I was thinking power supply but its been running fine up to now. The MB and processor are about 2 years old, just bought the geil and had it in a couple of days with no probs, the x850xt had about 2 months, everything else around a year.
Any help appreciated.
