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.

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.
