so anyways new comp for a friend..... I fired up the m/b installed everything with cpu, ram, graphic card and etc...
and yet i noticed there is no beeping noises... (everytime comp beeps when it boots up).. but for some reason this m/b doesn't beep... so yeah.. everything boot ups fine...so i went to play around in the cell section.. aka the ocing section...
so I guess i turned the fsb... to 170.. it posted.. 180.. posted..190 didn't post.. 184 fsb it didn't post.. and when i rebooted. it say floppy error.. but I didn't put floppy... because my friend will not use it..
so after I turned that off... and turn back up.. the monitor would just shuts down after few secs.. but it does say connection are fine.. and etc..
so I swapped out... video card, hardrive..ram..video cable...
i took out battery of the m/b and I reset the bio info a lot of times...

I am afraid it might be motherboard and cpu problem.. could it really be it?!?!? oh no!! :confused: :mad:
i went on msi site.. and it aint that helpful.. I need help please!! :(

btw excuse my writing ... it has been a long night... be doing this for 8 hours now... and had no sleep... had only 2 hours.. of sleep..
 
first give us some details on the hardware.
Second write this more clearly
third get some sleep damnit! :D

that little floppy error is usually from an O/C error or a corrupted bios or a bios slowly dieing (it's wonderful how one error can be evident of so many dilemmas!)
 
sorry about the horrible post that I wrote hours ago.

I have msi kzn2 delta 2 motherboard,
I have the kingston value ram pc3200 1gig
geforce 6800oc bfg
3 hardrives, 200 gig maxtor, 250 gig maxtor, 200 gig wd
and tdk 40x cd burner, nec 8 x dual layer dvd burner
with 2600+ amd tbird.
the case that I have is the kingwin mutant x silver/ gray gaming case with "420w" power supply from newegg....

any other infos ?? thank you all for the help... :(
 
1 correction the m/b is msi k7n2 delta 2
and I just found the d-bracket...
and it has 4 lights, whenever I start the comp it shows
2 on top 2 on right


red, green
red, red

I went on the msi website... and it doesn't really say anything about what that means... :confused:
 
those lights mean its a memory problem...its in your manual...i just looked it up.

i have a k7n2 delta-L

reset the CMOS/BIOS by switching the cmos reset jumper and leave it that way for 1-2 minutes just to be safe. then switch it back and turn on the PC...

also..there MIGHT be..there is on mine...a jumper that sets the FSB to "safe mode" IE..100mhz FSB

switch that too and turn on the PC

it should boot now...

i cant find any info on it on the MSI site..so look in your manual

look for "CPU FSB Frequency Jumper" and "Clear Cmos jumper"
 
really memory problem?? and btw.. i think our m/b is kind of different... mine is the k7n2 delta 2...
I have reset the cmos/ bios by setting it 1-2 and even taking the battery out...
but still... it starts... just nothing appears.. the monitor just hangs there...
and I dont think there is a jumper that does the fsb to safe mode ... no cpu fsb frquency jumper... ahhh!! I have been through all of the manual... it is useless!!
 
here it is a general background on the situation.

the comp is brand new, and at first it booted fine, bio, I hit del and played around the settings.. I tried to oc.. and btw this system has no floppy drive... then suddenly i played with the fsb.. and the system wouldn't boot to the bio screen and it said floppy error blah blah.. that is when everything started... whenever I start the comp.. never "boot" up not even the bio screen.. the monitor deplays nothing .. and I tired to take out the battery and the clear cmos jumper.. nothing.. the computer turns on... but the monitor deplays nothing.. and the video card is fine, and etc.. I tried it on another comp..
 
the lights are the same on all d-bracket MSI mobos tho..so i know thats right...the rest might be a lil off...but it should have those general things...maybe

another short update, before I do something more. Sorry to bother you all with this.. :(


I plugged in a new compusa 500 watt powersupply and it still does the samething.
I also plugged in a new 256 pc3200 pny ram and nothing .. it does the samething..

I am now RMA the motherboard...
and the cpu ran out of warrenty now..
do you all think it is the motherboard now??
