Didnt work

i do think it is actually fried because what you said to do didn’t work. is all the fans suppose to turn when you remove the plug. This is new i had to do the reset on a previous board 478 socket because i messed up the cpu config and they didnt spin. the power supply was off with a while of sitting. this is the second thing that has gone wrong inside of it. I have an automated fan control unit and one of the sensors had shifted too close to a high heat source and fried to the extent that it wouldnt shut up. It has been replace though.

The reason that i got this board was that it had the agp graphics input. I had found a BFG Fx 5700ultra at a best buy or so for around $100.

Thanks for the help though

which plug did you remove that the fans kept turning? If you unplugged the Ac from the wall, and the back of the PSU, that can't happen. If you leave the power cord plugged in, the mobo isn't really completely off. the manual "off" button on the system is really just an interrupt, not a true OFF switch.. there is a status light on the mobo- you must be sure it is off (dark) before you mess around in there. No fan can turn if the AC cord is unhooked. Maybe I am misunderstanding you-
wish a smart guy would pick up on this thread.

Plugs

i turned off the power supply through the back switch and the fans turn when i pulled the jumper off to put it back on the run i cant test it now though because he taking it with him to colorado to test if it is the motherboard because he has the same type of cpu. hes making sure it is the motherboard by testing the cpu. It never does make it to the bios too.

turning off the power supply at the back switch does NOT turn off all power to the mobo. that is why I said you should UNPLUG it from the wall.I am not enough of an expert to know what can happen when you switch jumpers with the line cord still attached, but I know it is not good practice.. It still could just be that it needs a re-set, but maybe he'll find by checking in his system. I hope everything works out well. Good Luck!

are you still talking about the ecs board? accept it as the piece of junk it is and move on

pay attention

you seem to be in a continually foul humor. if you'll read the previous posts, you will see that I was just trying to help someone who also got screwed with that board. I was trying some stop-gaps til some concerned, more experienced contributor helped the poor guy. perhaps "move on" is just what I will do.

motherboard is fried

My dad just told me the result in testing his chip in the motherbaord and it did the same thing so this is a comformation that the board is fried and that i wont be needing anymore help with it. Anyone know if the Asus P5wd2 premium if it is any good for.

should be-

I'm not familiar with that particular model, but I have an ASUS P5P800 in my machine, and put an ASUS P4V8X-MX in my mom's, and I think they're great. Easy installation, BIOS setup is easy, and offers a program to copy the current BIOS to a diskette, so if you have future trouble with updates/flashes, you can just re-install the original from the diskette, and start again

In this forum, and in many others, ASUS gets consistently high marks. Certainly better than any ECS. Just looked at it on newegg, looks like good features. the reviews were overwhelmingly good, but some said the onboard sound was not too good. My onboard is about the same, and though I have a Soundblaster, and don't use the onboard audio, I checked it, and it seemed fine. Good luck- again! :knock:

i apologize if i appeared to be rude, 'twas not my intent.

since new/different problems are supposed to be in their own threads (as per forum guidelines), you can see why i assumed that the subject hadn't been changed.

yeah, but he was obviously as much a noob as me, and found the right heading with the same mobo listed, so when I got the email notify, I thought I'd try to help. No real offense taken, but if you had looked at the dates & posts, you'd have known it was new. Oh, well ---------- onward and upward (apparently WITHOUT ECS)
