Hi all and thanks in advance for any input, The mobo, gfx card and ram have all been running fine for 5 years but untill today I tried to turn on and it hasnt been booting, after a half a second it shuts down, Ive tried the clear cmos thing but no luck. After an 8 hour cmos clear it stays on but doesn't post, everything seems to be on mobo, fans, leds etc. the 4 diagnostic leds stay lit 3 leds mean spu detected 2 leds mean ram and 1 means vide card, my leds just stay on 4 lit, im pretty sure when i got it started for a while after an 8 hour clear it showed 3 leds but no video on monitor and the fans spinning fully but hanged, usally the fans stop after a second or 2 when it starts up successfully. I tried changing the mobo battery but still same problems. I am trying with 1 stick on ram in dimm2 as recommended and still no luck. And without a gfx card it wont turn on at all, my board has no onboard graphics as far as i know. im pretty sure nothings shorting it, so I am wondering what should i replace first. I read for these dfi boads u can get a ps2 keyboard and do an 8 hour clear then hold insert key as I boot then press delete to get into the bios. I have have a usb keyboard and a ps2 connector/adaptor but im guessing this wont work like a proper ps2 keyboard would?
