| [motherboard] Motherboard may have failed? I have the XFX 8200 motherboard with:
AMD 64 x4800 processor
2x 1024 Corsair PC6400
Ultra LS600 power supply
Seagate 500GB serial ata
Seagate 160GB serial ata
LG DVDRW
Everything was running fine for about 7-8 months, and then yesterday it crashed. I restarted it and it gets to the post screen giving me the option to display post, or go into Bios. I went into the bios and it shows no hard drives.
So, I swapped out hard drives, and same thing. I changed the cables, and same thing. I swapped out power supply, same thing. I used parts from another computer that is running, so I know that they work. I reset the cmos (pulled battery and let sit for 30min), I reset bios, tried secondary bios, and still won't show the hard drive. I even tried swapping out ram, but same thing. Any ideas would be helpfull.

| Re: [motherboard] Motherboard may have failed? Thats kind of what I have been thinking too, but wasn't real sure. It's still under warranty, and I have a ticket with tech support at FXF, so hopefully they will come to the same conclusion soon.
Thank you

| Re: [motherboard] Motherboard may have failed? please try and just turn on the system with only the power supply motherboard and video card inserted. bare minimum setup only. also try and see if you can find some clear cmos jumpers on the board itself they will be small and look like to steel spikes sticking up that you normally would touch a screwdriver to when booting up the computer. | |

| Re: [motherboard] Motherboard may have failed? I did that and it does the same thing once the hard drive is hooked up. I have a feeling it's the board. Per XFX I removed the battery and let it sit for atleast 2 minutes to clear the cmos. No jumpers necessary for this process. I have reset the cmos several times with no affect.

| Re: [motherboard] Motherboard may have failed? Definitely sounds like the HD controller went south. Had it happen on a older ASUS board from a few years ago, and had almost the same problem. HD would be recognized for a few seconds, and then not be there. Only way to get it to come back was to clear the CMOS (I had a jumper block on mine), and then it would see it. | |
