while doing time wrote: Nahh its a bad board, ploked in a new PSU and still the same thing its never worked since i got it, should have taken it back but never did Its just a cheap peice of **** board i needed but didn't. Its got no Cmos clearing jumpers ive tried taking hte battery out no luck. Just tried it now no bios info comes up, iam maybe thinking the Xp 2000 iam trying to boot with is not compatible with the board and maybeif i used a 1.4,ect 1.2 lower it would work and let me atleast setup and update the mobo bios so my xp 2000 can work. Should it be able to boot with an xp 2000 ? You should always be able to boot to bios splash screen and long before the OS boots. Did you remove or set the jumpers correctly? Some boards ship in with a reset jumper in factory position and on one board the connections were labeled incorrectly. If you've checked the wiring, jumpers, tried it with 2 different working psu then it might be time to take it back and ask for a replacement. Its a Gigabyte ga-7vtxe+ if that helps any.

All are much more likely than a bad power supply or bad motherboard in any system that gets fiddled with alot. The "larger power supply advice" is completly bogus, as you stated that a bare bones system would not even post. You might eventually need a larger power supply, but certainly not based on the information you gave. |
