i'm giving up with this, i'm takin' it to a professional, i just don't have the time to mess about like this.

Thanks for the help anyway guys

Ok. Good luck mate! Just don't get ripped off. If they suggest expensive replacements, come back and check first!

You should really try the CMOS reset, when mine needs resetting i get the same symptons as you have. Fans/lights/hard drive spins

Another indicator....does the hard drive activity light on the front of the case flash at all?

not that i can see

Same as mine, reset the CMOS. There will be 2 little prongs on the motherboard near the battery, just connect them with something metal and press the power button whilst they're connected. Nothing should happen

Exactly how i solved mine anyway. Hope it works

Yup, i think so.

It will basically reset the BIOS

You don't need to hold del on startup, just let it run through (If it does)

sigh... didn't work

New motherboard tbh.

New motherboard tbh.

If the CPU's a dud it would have the same symptoms.

[insanechicken]

is there an onboard vga on the MB that i may need to disable?

[Jonny]

Have a look on the back of the motherboard. Is there a port that fits your monitor cable?

[Dougal]

Try taking the CPU out.

If it beeps or anything then you know its the CPU. No difference, mobo.

One question tho.

Whats your setup?

[insanechicken]

it fits serial port (COM1), page 16 of the manual:

Edit: scrap that, no it doesn't, & there's nowhere else it will fit.

[Dougal]

Thats not the VGA port. The VGA port on the PC is female.

This motherboard doesn't have any onboard GFX.

Whats the Graphics Card you're trying to run?
