PC Not Booting

[Nelsaidi]

Hey guys,
I'm having PC troubles, it wont work (specs are as in profile - ASUS P5Qe motherboard) - Its getting stuck at post, with first of all the post screen saying "press DEL to run setup, press TAB to display BIOS POST Message", with the intel logo at the right but no AI logo. Or, it gets stuck witth a white screen, black border and the intel logo with no text. The keyboard does not work in either cases.

Basically, I shutted down, when turned on again got stuck at the white screen. Removed everything down to one RAM stick and such, same thing happens, cleared the bios memory by removing the battery same thing happens. Then, i remove the graphics card and replace it with an an old inferior X300 and i get beyond the white screen but just to the bios post. Tried everything again, stuck at the same screen.

24 hours, i turn it on, it works, I put back my original graphics card it still works (get into windows), but then I shutdown so I can sort out bios clock ,fan speeds et cetra, I get the white screen again, replace graphics card get the black screen, but not beyond.

I'm off to get an internal speaker, but does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?

Thanks, much appreiciated

To me it sounds like a motherboard issue, is there no way you can try the GFX cards in another machine to omit them from the issue.....

also try a different PSU just to be on the safe side of things if all this is ok

I would then say its a motherboard problem


Hope this helps

Agree, MoBo looks on it's way to silicone heaven. Had a similar case recently with a brand new BioStar MoBo, random issues, tested everything else but the CPU and the MoBo (both FM2, not many people have spares laying around).
