ASUS P2L97 motherboard boot-up problem
Hi,
I got one P2L97 motherboard from my friend with a 266MHz CPU. I connect one function normal ATX power to motherboard power plug (no power connected to HD, CD, Floppy yet). I plugged in one function normal display card & sound card. When I pushed on PC's power on button, nothing appeared on CRT monitor (not even hardware diagnosis or memory count message). As I pushed the reset button, I heard "Boo ~~ Boo Boo Boo" sound (the first Boo sound being long one), nothing output either. I 've tried using different workable CRT monitors, display cards, ATX power supplies, and even plugged out memory chip (reduced memory chips from 2x128MB+164MB to 1x128MB) but result was the same for over 10 trials of PC boot. Among those 10 trials, only one trial succeed in outputting hardware diagnosis messages to CRT monitor (128MB RAM counted successfully). However, the result couldn't be reproduced even if I kept on using the same set of hardware components. Can I conclude that my ASUS motherboard suffers unrecoverable hardware fault ? I've called my friend and he said that no such porblem found before he gave me the board. What is worst, the original ASUS manual doesn't come along with any troubleshooting guide. http://www.asus.com/pub/asus/mb/slot.../p2l97-105.pdf |
