Got a really strange problem... today when i turned on my computer it only loaded up to the motherboard logo screen then froze... i cant figure out what it could be.... it was working just fine 24 hrs ago


tried disconnecting the HD and the cD drive and each of my ram sticks one at a time and all the USB peripherals tried re- seating most of the cables and tried clearing the cmos on the MB.... it only unfroze to ask me if i wanted to restore default or last known good settings -> then returned to freezing


im really at a loss at this point... i think i got most of the basic troubleshooting things out of the way .. i hope someone here who knows a little more about computers can help me out


also note - with the little speaker plugged into the MB on boot it gives me 1 beep(which should mean its booting successfully)


Cpu specs :


Gigabyte ga-770ta-ud3 motherboard
athlon x3 II 4xx processor
4gb Gskill Ram
spinpoint f3 HD
Saphire 4850


the only things still plugged in are the CPU /GPU /PSU /MB so...prolly has something to do with the MB??
 
good day mate!have you encounter power failure or you hard reset your system from crash or hang applications?

regards
 
I would try resetting the cmos and see it that does anything for it. Remove power from the power supply, remove cmos battery from the motherboard, press the power button on the case a few times to discharge any remaining power, then wait 5 minutes. Then reinsert battery and reconnect power and try booting up.
 
little update : after resetting the cmos again i saw an option aside from the 'default' 'last known good' which allows you to boot right through which allows me to get past the splash screen... and after changing my resolution back lets me use the computer somewhat normally (i also can restart just fine at that point) but as soon as i turn the computer off again i realize the problem is still there as when i turn it on it gets stuck at the splash screen...

pretty sure this rules out any hardware failures ... except maybe the motherboard?? ...
 
How old is this computer? There is a small possibility that the cmos battery needs to be replaced.
 
Not sure whats going on without looking at it. You may have to take it in and pay a small diagnosis fee.
 
isnt it clear that its a MB or a softwareishtype of problem at this point?? just looking for someone who knows how MB's work to see if i should try to RMA the MB or get a new one... or if there is a simpler solution to the problem
