AMD Athlon Dual Core Motherboard Problem

dannaswolcott · 05-09-2008, 02:48 PM

I am having some issues with this AMD motherboard. The board powers on, i get the LED light to come on & the system fan comes on. Thats it, I get no video or any post. What can be the problem?

Bad memory perhaps, try re-seating the memory.

I tried 3 different sticks of ram. No help

Have you tried a different video card, could be a video problem?

That's most likely the problem...What were doing when it caused this? Did it just do it one day when you booted it up?

It happened to me. Another PSU fixed the problem for me. It was either a bad PCI-E power cable or not juice from the PSU.

I have not check the PSU yet. The video is on board video. And yes it happened one day I went to power it back on and nothing.

Then it's most likely not the PSU since it's onboard video. I would say it's your mobo then. I can't think of anything else it would be.

I take it you have an amp/voltage meter? Try the PSU manually, see if it is giving correct voltages and correct amps before you buy a new motherboard.

99% of the times when you motherboard is fried it took the CPU with it.
