I have a development server that I built recently, which has developed an 'issue' - the Epox nF2 mobo seems to have died after only 6 months.
It has integrated video, and on powerup, everything spins up, but I get no video signal or anything. Machine never gets far enough to get an IP from DHCP. HD is tested and known good. Swapped my RAM in too, no dice. Diag. LEDs onboard show it never getting past boot stage 'FF' or occasionally hitting 'C1', the mem validation stage but never passing that.
So it's either the board or cpu I think, leaning toward the board I think. Anyone have a reccommendation on a cheap, RELIABLE board for my 2500+? Don't care about overclocking, or most fancy features, except maybe IDE RAID. It is usually run as a headless web server in the office for testing sites I am developing.
Thanks for your thoughts in advance!
