A7N8X Dlx. quit posting after 3000/400 install???
My A7N8X deluxe was posting and booting fine with my palomino 2000+ and
2x256 Giel pc3500 in single channel slots with fsb clock 133 and memory at 150% 6-3-3-2. I did a restart, went into CMOS setup, changed performance settings from 'user-defined' to 'optimal'...which left me with symetric 100% fsb to memory( I think), and set the voltages back to 'auto' saved and exited and powered down and unplugged the AC...... I then installed a barton 3000+ (400), a new vantec VA4-C7040 cooler, and an additional stick of Kingston hyperX pc3500 512M in slot 3...which left me with 2 banks of 512M dual-channel(I think)....... I then powered up, drives and fans spin-up and stay spinning, lights on Giel golden dragons are glowing, and no beep(s), no post reporter, nothing more happens. I power-down, clear CMOS, power-up..... still nothing more. I change cpu back to palomino with old cooler and removed Kingston, cleared CMOS, and still....no post........???? I am now at a point of trying to figure out what to do about this.......RMA something(s)??? New Egg has a 7 day policy on cpu's.....So I need to decide quickly. Any Suggestions....anybody?.....Ben? Thanx in advance, Paul |

This is worth a try and has gotten me out of no post situations due to bad
settings in the bios. Strip the machine down to just board, CPU and video, no memory installed, and turn it on, let it try to boot then turn it off and install one of your stick of ram and try again. Some time this will clear something in the CMOS that the nornmal CLR CMOS jumper wont. You also may have corrupted the CMOS, a stange problem that some ( or maybe many) of these boards have. A search on Google should find lots of hits. If this is the problem you'll need access to another bios chip to recover the board.

I have since pulled the T-bird out my second computer(A7V133 rev1.05nodot)
and retryed my Palomino, it is working there just fine(probably wont pass memtest86 v3.0, but......whatever.....) I think I'll try powering-up the A7N8X dlx. pcb2.0 with just the Kingston, video card, and no CPU.........oh and a speaker, maybe the asus bitch will talk to Me Paul "Paul W H" wrote in message news:egoCb.374845$275.1215982@attbi_s53...

I tried the booting one stick memory, video, and no cpu...asus bitch tells
me no cpu installed. Then tried with t-bird 1000c(and cooler)...no asus bitch and no beep. Then tried with cpu, video card, and no memory....no asus bitch and no beep. Then tried with stick of memory....no asus bitch and no beep. Between each time I also did a CMOS clear. I would like to test the 3000+400, my A7V133 can barely cope with a palomino....I won't try the barton. I have a Abit XP333 sitting here, given to me by someone who couldn't get it to post....was new....not sure if it can do a barton..... I'm going to see if it'll post my T-bird. If anybody knows if 400 barton will run in an abit XP333 I would like to know.....I suppose I could surf-up the answer to that...but....? Thanx in advance again, Paul P.S. The vantec VA4-C7040(full speed) seems as quiet as a volcano7 set to low, and does a lower unloaded cpu temp than the volcano& set to high.

I don't have Abit board sitting here.
It's an Iwill XP333(noR)rev. 2.1...... I read a review that it'll do a 400fsb.... .....and that takes multiple resets to pull-up a CMOS sake settings mode. Guess I'll give it a try................. |
