P4T-E not posting
I have one of these boards which runs the fans fine, LED is on properly, and
the HD spins up but the system will not post and no video signal and no beeps. The PS voltages look great (measured with a meter) and with all of the cards and drives pulled, I still have no beeps. The HD light stays on and I have tried reseating the CPU and RAM. I am down to a possible MB or CPU problem. The only history I know of the system is that it was locking up with regularity before the no POST problem occurred. I measured the voltage on the CMOS battery and it is at 3 VDC. I just wanted to see if I am on the right path with the MB or CPU problems. I guess that I just am too stubborn to believe that the MB is gone. Thanks for any thoughts. John O. |

Maybe it is failing and can not provide enough power to start the computer. This would also explain the intermittent failures you were seeing earlier. The other thing to try is removing the board from the case and see if it will start then. |

Is the ATX12V 2x2 connector plugged in ? http://www.ixbt.com/cpu/amd/athlon-x...p4te-board.jpg Paul |

CPU's almost never fail unless they are overheated. Sorry to say that your
motherboard has apparently died. -- DaveW ---------------- "John O" wrote in message ...

It's far more likely to be the motherboard than the CPU.
