Ok.
I posted asking about this a week or so ago, and am still in the same boat. I'm rather frustrated as I've got a paper on the hd that is due in a couple days and i really don't want to go around begging people to let me put my hd in their systems since i screwed mine up. Nobody sane should let me near their system with a screwdriver.
Anyway.
Last week I changed a couple fo bios settings, rebooted, and the machine would post or go into bios safe mode or anything. It powers up, HD and CD power up, and i get a brief flicker on the moniter. No beeps or post or anything.
I tried disconecting the mobo from the PS, removing the cmos battery (the one by the via ata66 bus) and putting it back in. If I recall, I changed the speed of the RAM to 133 and changed the PIO mode on the CD. I had flashed to bios revision 1007 (final) a few couple weeks prior and had been having smooth sailing until this.
I tried removing all cards but video and still no luck. I re-seated the ram, no luck, etc. I'm at a loss for why this happened and what i should do now.
Any ideas?
System in question:
A&V set to jumperless
Duron 600 @600
256 megs muskin/infenion (sp?) (128 x 2)
atiAIW 128 (2x AGP, fast writes off)
quatom fireball lct10 10.2 gig HD on via bus
POS mitsumi CD-RW
AMD approved 300W PS
modem and sound card removed to eliminate any compounding variables.
I'm stumped and stuck on my gf's imac, and right about now I'm feeling like deserve to be on an imac.
