Hi all.
I need a little bit help from guys who are familiar with the general PC startup. I recently build a new PC using the following components:
Mainboard: DFI 855GME-MGF
CPU: Intel Pentium M ULV 773
All of the components are 2nd hand but they should be okay afaik. So today I tried to startup the system the first time. Here's the order:
1. Switched on Power Supply -> Mainboard LED turns okay
2. Hit the power switch -> Mainboard starts up
3. Monitor turns on
4. Screen comes up with the CPU details
5. Memory counting up successfully
6. CPU brand name comes on the screen
7. System halts/freeze
Here's the last state of the machine:
>> attachment
And that's the setup:
>> attachment
As you can see I removed almost everything. Only keyboard, VGA, power supply and memory is attached to the mainboard.
I also replaced the RAM in order to see, if that's the issue -> same behaviour. If I remove the RAM completely the MB begins to beep (one long beep). That indicates the MB recognized the missing RAM correctly.
What guys do you think might cause the hung? Is it the CPU?
In which "state" of the POST are we at this point?
Any help or suggestion would be great! Unfortunately I don't have a POST card to get more information...
