Out community's power went out as a result of Hurricane Rita, and now my computer wont start. The computer (Antec TruPower 430, Abit AI-7, P4 2.4, Corsair XMS ram) was on an APC UPS/Surge Protector when the power was lost, and now it will just begin to power up for about 1sec. then shut down and restart itself and the loop contiunues until switched off. It never even gets to a POST screen. Error codes on the Motherboard report as 0.1...8.3...F.
I've tried various troubleshooting methods such as resetting the CMOS, and removing the battery, Switching the RAM around ( single and double stick variations), etc.
Any suggestions. Is this most likely a PSU problems, or a Mainboard problem?
Is there an easy what to check?
Thanks in advance,
Dean
