 |
|
When I restarted my computer one day it took a really long time to get
the POST, but the next time I restarted it I got nothing but a light
show (on my CD-Rom drives). I have tried to clear the CMOS with the
jumper, nothing happens, nothing even turns when I put the jumper in
the clear CMOS position. When I have it in normal CMOS setting it
makes everything turn, CPU fan, CD drives, Hard drive EVERYTHING. I
didnt install any new hardware to make this happen, I have several
different computers sitting around in my basement, I've tried using
various parts from them, no luck, the only thing I havent tried is a
different CPU because the other ones use a different input then an AMD
Athalon. Lastly, not only do I not get any POST, I dont get any help
cries from my BIOS beep.
perplexed and hoping for help. |

It only takes a couple watts to give you a light show. If the things start |
to turn and don't start up, I suspect your power supply. K7S5A is very
demanding of a PSU. Usually a good choice is Antec or Enermax of at least
400W. Your TCO of the +3.3v and +5v rails should be at least 220w. |

I know for a fact that its not my power supply because I brought it to
a shop and they tested everything for me and they say that the CPU or
mobo is the culprate. |

Assuming they're competent, the fact that they "tested everything" makes
me wonder why you're still looking for advice.
