A7N8X
AMD cpu (I can't recall -- but about 1100 mhz
512 RAM -- one chip
All in Wonder AGP card
I have had this up and running two years. It was networked and I used it to backup my main computer and to do TV things. Last week, I added a second hard drive as a slave.
It worked fine -- backed up, new harddrive recognized by both computers. No problems.
Then the network connection disappeared. the computers still worked fine, but did not network.
Then the A7N8X ended up with a blank screen. It would power up --
power light onboard would come on and when I turned system switch on, the cpu fan would power up and the hard drives would whir, but NOTHING would display on screen and NO beeps.
So, I pulled the monitor and tested it on another computer --works fine.
I pulled the video card and put it another machine --works fine
I put a low end PCI graphic card in and NO display or beeps.
so I reconnected the drives. No change.
I let it set for a day and when I tried again, now the light on the MB will light up, but when I depress the system power switch, the CPU fans does NOT come and the drives do not access.
I put in another RAM chip and reduced the sytem to one harddrive (the original one which I have booting from for two years.)
No change.
I have rechecked all the connections and put a new IDE cable in.
No change.
The MB gets power, but the major components -- cpu and harddive do not.
Any suggestions?
thanks RDG
