Subject: Older board wont boot
Posted: 21 Mar 2016 at 9:48am
Really frustrated with this, I took everything apart, inspected, cleaned and assembled piece by piece, outside of the case. For the most part it behaved the same as before. only booting every 3rd or 4th time. When it did boot all looks good initially, starts with OCZ boot screen for HD, the keyboard lights up and seems to respond to the key board when it prompts to hit space bar to continue to mobo screens. Then right to the Mobo splash screen; for almost all different types of keyboards, the delete key would generate a beep from keyboard and most of the time the tab key would take you to another Dos looking screen with bios info but no other keys responded at all. I have tried different power supplies and every combination possible of keyboards, PS2, USB, and USB to PS2 converters, 1 stick of memory, 2 sticks and 4 sticks, with OCZ PCI HD in and without. It gives all the normal post beeps if you try to boot with no memory or whatever. It will run for hours on the splash screen; It feels like if I could somehow get by this one keystroke to adjust the boot settings, all would be fine. Even though it is 4 years old, the recent addition of new video cards and it will max out 7.9 on windows performance index with only one 7.8. I really hate to have to junk this machine. Any other ideas? Thanks in advance, Don M
