GA-8KNXP Not Booting up
First of all you need the Beep at switch on which tells you that the
POST is ok (Power On Delf Test) and that the bios is working. After which it wakes the CPU up, switches the main power on and tells the HDD to load windows etc into RAM. You can disconnect all the drives including the HDD and see what happens when you boot up - you should get the POST bios beep. Ya don't happen to have a duff bios back up battery...? He he he the other day I had....! I kept getting disk boot failure thought it was the HDD so silly me tried a repair install - no joy, tried a complete format - no joy, so I borrowed a HDD and that was exactly the same no HDD boot up. I thought of a bios re-boot taking the battery out and hey presto... all was well even the HDD was asking me to insert the CD ROM to finish the install, that meant although the HDD was'nt booting it did the first half of the installation. The next day when the shops was open I got a new bios battery just to be sure and did a complete reformat incase I copied any trash with the fault that I had. Funny thing though, all the bios settings was correct inspite of wanting a bios reboot and the battery reading only 2.5V instead of 3 Volts. Silly me I did'nt need do a re-install after all but to re-boot the bios with a new battery - sure did look like an HDD failure..! Further question, are the fans running?, No swollen capacitors on the mobo or gunge coming from them and what the chances of trying a Power Supply Unit..? Whether this helps I can't say, but first aim for that beep without it nothing will work. Davy |
