Problems with POSTing P4PE-BP
Hi all.
I have an Asus P4PE-BP ( Black Pearl) edition MB which seems to be giving me some problems POST-ing. I have the board installed in a ThermalTake Xaser III case which has a 450Watt PSU installed and I was wondering if it could be that the board is grounding somewhere because when I switch on the main switch on the PSU the fans spin up for about 5~6 secs and then it all shuts down. I've tried dis-connecting all the fans and auxillary devices to determine if I may be having a power cable or component problem but to no avail. So I finally removed the CPU and tried to powered up the PSU and WHOLA, same results. Now I am not a professional computer tech, but I KNOW that without the CPU a board doesn't usually power up so I guess there's something else happening here. Can anyone shed andy light or offer any ideas? I can be reached at adcnw@cloudnine( replace the word nine with the number 9).net Thanks. |

I'm guessing some wild ideas he
1- Sounds like your switch is acting like if you pressed it, and it remains ON. That has the effect of telling the PSU to shut down after a delay. Is that front panel power switch Vintage ?.. It should be SPST (Workaround tip:.. Unhook the reset switch, and ise it as power instead. Forget about reset until you fix.) 2- This is a case for GHOSTBUSTER Cheers, (Come back if that does not fix or does it.) B Dre wrote in message ... Hi all.

Oops, LAPSUS:
I meant 'should not be SPST, should be: Standard Pushbutton Switch James Bald wrote in message ...

On my old P4B board, when you turn on the PSU via the switch on the back of the computer, the computer powers up for a few seconds, long enough for the BIOS code to check the setting of "AC Pwr Loss Restart". If the computer is supposed to remain off after a power failure, the computer will then promptly shut down again. My P4C800-e Deluxe doesn't seem to do this, implying the feature is supported directly by the chipset, rather than relying on some BIOS code to emulate the feature. I don't know how this is supposed to work on the P4PE board. And Google doesn't offer any advice. Paul |
