Hi,
My previous motherboard, a GA-7DPXDW-P, which broke down with a leaky capacitor. So I got hold of a Tyan Tiger MPX to swap it out with (both chipset 762 dual AMD boards). I believe all the of components I am transferring function correctly.
Having inserted both CPUs, ram, graphics card and a hard drive, I power on....
Not every time I turn it on is the screen drawn to... My monitor believes something is there and comes out of standby, but simply displays a blank screen before returning to standby. Other times, seemingly random, information is drawn to the screen and it runs through an extended memory check, recognises both processors. However, it progresses no further, it does not check IDE devices, and upon hitting F2 for the bios, the text "entering setup" appears although the computer then seems to freeze. I have not been able to enter the BIOS.
As for beeps, there is a sort of triple click of a beep (sounds more like tapping a table quietly than a BEEP!)
I'm sort of tearing my hair out, is this motherboard irrepairably broken too?
I've reset the CMOS with a jumper, the FSB for the processors is set correctly.. Ummm. I don't know what else to do.
Thanks for reading.
