Cdizzle Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 I have an old Socket 754 AMD computer that I was letting a friend borrow and he said that one night it just went out on him... He said that his keyboard came disconnected some how, since it is PS/2 he had to restart the computer to get it to work. Well when he went to turn the computer back on it didnt turn on... I have it at my house and I disconnected everything, and put it all back together and now I cant even get the damn thing to turn on... for some reason it will stay on for like 1 second max, and that is it. I can keep pressing the button to turn it on but it never actually turns on... Could anyone tell me if the motherboard is dead? Thanks.

bibby>Chode Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Are you trying to turn on the mobo with just power and a monitor, to get into the bios? That is the first thing i would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfeld Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 i wouldnt get why the motherboard would just go out like that, unless he was messing with the overclocking trying to get more power and fried it, who knows.

Cdizzle Posted August 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Are you trying to turn on the mobo with just power and a monitor, to get into the bios? That is the first thing i would do. I am just trying to get anything outta it. It wont even stay on! I press the power button and it turns on, but for exactly 1 second then goes off... When it was still at his house we could get the damn thing to stay on, but there was no video what so ever... We tried AGP and PCI cards to try to get video out of it and we got nothing... You reset CMOS with the jumper and the 3 pins on the mobo right? for some reason I cant find it on this board... Ill look a bit more.
