 Posted: Fri Feb 10, 2006 3:33 pm Post subject: STRANGE PC MAINBOARD PROBLEM. |
 |
|
All of a sudden my PC has been really doing something strange.
It will hardly start up in the normal way.
I turn on the PC and All that happens is that the Fans/HDD power up, and
then I get one Flash of the lights on the K/B and then nothing. Just sits
there with the fans going.
I have removed all components and power cycled the beast, and have got it
down to possibly the mainboard.
I reflashed the Bios, but still the same problem.
Reset CMOS.
Now here is the STRANGE part. If I manage to get it to boot, It will boot
every time after that PROVIDED I don't leave it off for more than a couple
of hours.
Then the same problem.
Even stranger, While the power was on, but PC had failed to boot, I turned
off the power at the socket, turned it back on, and then tried.
Started up first time.
Any Ideas?
If not Is there a N.G that may help.
Thanks
