Hello,

After 1 month in it's current configuration a pc I have restarted and now will not get past the POST screen. After it checks the amount of memory it resets itself and keeps doing this loop. No error beeps are produced when it does this.

I have tried everything I can think of.

Try booting into the "Ultimate Boot CD"
Tried resetting BIOS
New PSU that was tested working
Ram tested in my other PC and worked fine
HD unplugged
CD Drive Unplugged
CPU reseated
Vid Card reseated
Checked Temps--->~27c in bios

The Specs:
AMD 1.3 GHZ Duron
Asus a7n8x-x Mobo
2x512mb pc3200
Geforce 5200 128mb
40gb HD
Yamaha CD Burner
300w power supply
Multiple fans for cooling
-1 front intake
-1 back out
-1 side in
-1 top out
 
Not since I installed the motherboard over a month ago.

Maybe a corrupt bios or something?
 
Nothing new software wise has been installed lately, and I've checked everything hardware related I can.
 
Not possible since it restarts before it will even boot from a CD...See my first post...
 
I can get into the BIOS just fine...its after its done checking the memory that it restarts
 
Well if you can find a disk of your operating system then in the BIOS set it to boot from cd and that will enableyou to reinstall Windows. You are using WinXP I presume?
 
It can't boot to any CD...already said that.

It restarts before it can load anything from the CD/
 
Then if you have that disk you can reinstall Windows.Set the cd to boot first, insert the disk and it will go from there.
 
you ppl arent seeing this, once it checks the memory it reboots, he cant get to the point of booting off a cd


swap memory? try diff memory, or a diff powersupply....try clearing the cmos on the board...if all else fails rma it
 
Well then I would RMA the board if it was that way when you first installed it. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Reading comprehension....I've had it for a month and it jsut started this out of the blue.
 
Like I said I would RMA the board since it should have warranty on it. Yes I seen all his previous posts and I can comprehend, thanks for clarifying that. :p
