Well after 4-5 days straight I am stumped.......Originally last week my MSI K7N2-ILSR board appeared to have killed on me. Everything turns on in the case but my monitor says, "Please check signal cable". Obviouslly I took my video card out, put another in, swapped power supplies, memory, etc.....nothin.
So I bought a DFI LP Ultra B. Upon trying to get this thing going the same thing is happening more less. I did have it working for about an hour or two. But I decided to swap CPU's & it started doing it again (put the cpu I originally was using back in, same thing still!!) I've tried different power supplies, (three). I tried different sticks of memory. I just don't get it. I've tried clearing CMOS with battery out for awhile. Tried the pressing the insert key while powering up & all, nothin, (doesn't even give me the "Lanparty" screen, just hangs with all four diagnostic leds lit up.) I tried different CPU's, video cards, power supplies, memory sticks............ARGH?!
All the four lights on the bottom power up & they stay lit, thats all. This morning for some mysterious/unknown reason. I came down stairs & powered my computer on & BOOM, everything posted. Had to switch my memory around the banks a few different times so it wouldn't hang on the "Testing All Memory" diagnostic/startup stage. Funny thing is, this only hangs with one of my PS's plugged in?!?! I tried another PS & it would get right through that stage?!?!?! All three PS's are fine. I have checked them in other computers without a problem. Video card is fine............I'm completely lost, sorry for the length.......
I'm thinking of returning the motherboard but........It was doing the similiar thing with my MSI K7N2-ILSR, sooo........I have not a clue, any input would be great. Thanks!!
