Guest kleefarr Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Following on from the first part..... Upgraded motherboard problem I proceeded to do a fresh install of WIN XP. Everything was going great until "Inspecting system" section and then there was a click and everything turned off. It wouldn't turn on again until it had been sitting for about an hour. When on again it only stayed on long enough to enter set up again and then off after a minute. I suspect that the default settings may not be suiting the upgrade. i will leave over night and then try entering setup again tomorrow and have a fiddle. Grrrr. Kevin
Guest Bob I Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Re: Upgraded motherboard problem Part 2 OOps, you have bad hardware, sure sounds like a heat related issue. Correct that, then you can move to the Windows XP questions. kleefarr wrote: > Following on from the first part..... > Upgraded motherboard problem > > I proceeded to do a fresh install of WIN XP.

Guest sgopus Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 RE: Upgraded motherboard problem Part 2 I agree, recently I ran into the same issue, some piece of hardware has shorted out and your power supply to keep from bursting into flame, has shut down. Remove all cards power up, if it shuts down again then it's your mother board. if it stays on, then replace boards one at a time till it shuts down, you have found your culprit "kleefarr" wrote: > Following on from the first part..... > Upgraded motherboard problem > > I proceeded to do a fresh install of WIN XP.

Grrrr. > > Kevin Try this: Remove all external peripherals including printer, leave mouse. Remove all internal cards except video (nevermind if its onboard the motherboard). If XP install is okay, install motherboard drivers, then install one internal card at a time and turn on the machine (repeat as needed). Then, add the external stuff same way. Dave
Guest kleefarr Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Re: Upgraded motherboard problem Part 2 Thanks for the input guys. Before we go any further here is a run down of what is attached to the board. 512mb Radeon graphics card 1Gb Ram 80Gb Hdd 2.0Ghz Celeron with heatsink/fan So not much to remove. I turned it on this morning and checked the temps in bios. CPU started 45c up to 48c System 26c up to 31c CPU Fan speed started 2812rpm to 2909rpm Volatges were constant while running.. Vcore - 1.47v VTT(v) - 1.52v 3.3v - 3.32v +5v - 4.99v +12v - 11.85v -12v - -12.52v VBAT(v) - 2.94v SVSB(v) - 4.94v Warn beep was enabled but i don't think there is a speaker, will try to nick one of an old case. I checked in bios settings, CPU and RAM were being reported as ok. Changed CPU Throttle for 75% to 50% and also changed the CPU WARN TEMP from disiabled to 70c. So will I unplug everything except the CPU and RAM and see what happens?

Guest kleefarr Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 Just noticed something... Just noticed something... Right, Haven't done anything yet apart from reseat memory and CPU again. While I was reseating the CPU I noticed this, but I'm not sure if it would be causing the problem... http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b347/KBL007/Scrapbook/Groundheatsinkfan1.jpg?t=1189415360 Although it doesn't look like the actual wire is broken.. http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b347/KBL007/Scrapbook/Groundheatsinkfan2.jpg?t=1189415438 Would this cause the problems I'm having?

Guest kleefarr Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE I have managed to get hold of another compatible CPU and Motherboard. The CPU from the problem PC works fine on the other motherboard. The Motherboard from the problem PC does not work with the other CPU. (Tried with and without fan plugged in.) Must be the motherboard then. Yes?
