DFI Lanparty NF4 Ultra-D - 7-04-BTA Bios
Opty 165 @ 2700mhz
2 GB ddr 400 (PC 3200) running at OCZ Ram 3338 @ 227 MHZ on divider
OCZ Gamer-extreme 700W PSU
3 x 80 gb hitachi HDD raid 0
7900 GT 512 MB video card
All parts 4-5 years old, PSU is 1-2 years old, system has been running stable for 4 years.
I got back to my home after 5 days away only to find out my PC will not post. My fiance told me that yesterday she powered on pc, got to windows log on screen, but the mouse wouldn't work for her. So she held down the power button to turn it off. In the past month or 2 I've had random issues with the keyboard and mouse not working right or not being recognized. But a reseating of the plugs or restart fixed problem. Keyboard was plugged in to ps2 port, mouse usb.
But now I can't even get the PC to post. It gets stuck on 4 LED's, which means it isn't even recognizing the CPU. So far I've tried a 2 hour CMOS clear, replacing the CMOS battery, placing a single ram stick in the proper DIMM2 spot.... nothing has worked, and the same 4 LED problem persists. The computer powers on, fans and psu work, but it won't go past 4 LED. One weird thing to note, the keyboard lights will continously flicker on and offer in rapid fashion.... but removing the keyboard has no effect on the problem.
I have no desire to unravel the computer, but I'm going to have to take it apart and somehow systematically figure out what's wrong, but I recall from building it, that it's sometimes difficult to diagnose what is the true problem.
Anyway, dfi-street is long gone, and dfi club isn't working, so I thought I would try you fine folks.
My best guess is the motherboard may have bit the dust, the 4 LED's mean it could be processor, but I am anal about temperatures and even with the overclock the opty always ran cool, I suppose it could always be PSU related, but the PSU appears to power on w/o problem..... anyway thoughts?
