its 3 weeks old and the specs in my sig.. I already tryed the ram.. Its fine i also tryed it in another pc aswell.. The rams fine.. I have a video to show you what happens if you want?

mishima · 7 Apr 2007 at 11:41

Sure send through, do you have anything else that you could test like another PSU etc to rule this out?

phi1 · 7 Apr 2007 at 11:44

yeah i tryed a diffrent PSU and i tryed that PSU on a diffrent pc and both work fine. The GPU works The ram works the hd works the CPU works the soundcard works the dvd drive works.. I just has to be the mobo

mishima · 7 Apr 2007 at 11:48

If you have elminated everything bar the mobo it must be that then. Sounds like you are going to have to RMA it. Places aren't going to be open till Tuesday anyway so you may as well try reseating everything (reapply paste to CPU), clear CMOS and see if that helps.

Does the DS4 come with the POST LED display on the motherboard to identify POST errors? - Like this http://www.3dnews.ru/documents/7517/led_fire.jpg

No it has no LEDS.. I tryed reseating everything. The only way it works if you reset the battery and bios.. And it only sometimes works if you do that...

Was it plugged in while you were away?

phi1 · 7 Apr 2007 at 11:58

yes but the switch was turned off at the PSU..

phi1 · 7 Apr 2007 at 11:59

Even if it was switched off, if its still in the wall it can still get affected by electric storms etc. I always switch off, then take out of wall after each shutdown. Looks to me like the mobo is faulty.

phi1 · 7 Apr 2007 at 12:01

Yeah.. I was meant to do that i ran out of time and had to run out of the house.. I think it must be faulty. Heres a video anyway..

mishima · 7 Apr 2007 at 12:03

Um, do you have ISP webspace? I can't think of any other than image hosting ones.

phi1 · 7 Apr 2007 at 12:05

Umm the youtube is working now..

phi1 · 7 Apr 2007 at 12:25

I packed it away.. Tryed everything i guess it will be a RMA..

mishima · 7 Apr 2007 at 20:01

Sorry mate, had to pop out. From the video I think its probably best to RMA the board, you eliminated every other device so you should have no problems.

MeatLoaf · 7 Apr 2007 at 20:42

Well Phil thats exactly the same as happens to me.

Havent turned mine off for over 2 weeks apart from to install a soundcard
