Hi,
This is my config:
C2D e8400 @ 3 ghz
ATi 4870
4 gb DDR2 800
Gigabite GA-EP43-DS3L
Excuse my english not a native speaker.
The computer had been working fine for over 6 months now.
Today however when I turned it on, the computer started (all lights and fans were on as normal) but before the POST or any beep it goes off, like 5 seconds on then off...
after 3 seconds it goes on again and does the same thing over and over until I kill the power.
I though it was a problem with the power button, which isnt very good sometimes it gets stuck, so I changed the "POWER SW" connector in the MB for the "RESET SW" and started using the reset button to turn on... did a CMOS clear, no change.
I removed the battery waited 5 mins, put it back in... no change
removed HDs connector and unplugged the main Power Cord of the MB and the ATX 12V and plugged back... the computer started working again...
So, any ideas as to why it happened? The climate here is colder than normal, maybe that has same relation?
Also, is there a program that checks is the ATX12v connector is working or even connected? I tried Everest and the normal gigabite info program, didnt see any mention to it. Google didnt help.
