Soldato
Hi,
Had this PC for years and had no problems at all, earlier this year I pulled my 1070ti out of it as I was bored with gaming, sold the GFX card and left the PC sitting in my room unplugged.
Roll on a few months of not even turning it on and my son asked if he could use it as his laptop is needing a new fan, I tried plugging in an old 280x I have but the pc didn't boot. I figured that maybe the card was dead so I plugged the HDMI into the motherboard to use the onboard GFX but now I only get as far as a b2 error on the motherboard LED.
The PC starts up but then I get a warning about RAID (I never had RAID set up on this PC) and one about the CPU fan, this makes sense as it is watercooled so the CPU fan inst plugged in, I enter BIOS and disable monitoring of the CPU fan, save and exit but then nothing, not even the other warnings that were there before, just the fans spinning but no activity on screen, I replaced the CMOS battery and reset the CMOS but the problem is still the same.
My thoughts are that losing the CMOS battery power has lost a BIOS setting that is stopping it booting, I cant really see any other reason for it not to just fire up. The b2 error seems to be related to "Legacy option ROM initialization" according the the ASUS site....
The system is :-
6600k
Asus Ranger VIII Mobo
16gb (4x4) RAM
250gb ssd with win 10
250gb ssd for some games.
I'm not at the PC so responses will be slow, any help would be greatly appreciated.
