New theory/story: Bios is dead ! Possible evidence: CPU Fan spins slowly.

Risky, might damage memory modules.

Can the motherboard operate without memory modules ?

I was under the impression computers need memory to operate ?!




That's a possibility I would rather not think about ;)

Does it beep if there is no CPU in it as well ?

Bye,
Skybuck.
as far as your CPU, i don't know, on my MB, i have a mini
processor that's part of the MB resources and it channels
the primitive speaker out to my shelf speakers. It will verbally
tell me if there is no CPU. after all the post are done , then
tells me it's booting from the operating system.
You don't need the memory in for the very basic boot start that
bios goes through when resetting the main CPU..
Most MB's have a wire called the PG (power good) that will shut the
power supply off for various reasons.

You have to stop complaining and do some serious research .

Are you witnessing sound corruption ?

Why would boot fail because a memory chip is damaged ?

Won't the motherboard simply p

Woopsie...

Anyway what I was gonna say is:

I have no reason to believe the motherboard would fail booting even if
there is a damaged memory chip inside it.

For now I will assume the motherboard continues even if:

cpu dead,
memory dead,
anything else dead.

That would be real smart.

No need to remove components, saves a whole lot of potential risk
damaged because of moving around components :)

Also no beep codes in manual.

Besides the best strategy now is to replace the bios chip first.

Don't you agree with that ?

The way I see it is really simple:

If my theory is correct and the bios is dead then no matter what I
move, no beep codes will occur.

So my conclusion is the correct conclusion:

Don't listen to idiots on the internet saying:

"try this, try that"

^^^ best way to: waste lot's of time, run lot's of risk, and finally
damage your computer real good ^^^

You see I am not wet behind my ears when it comes to internet folks ;)

Just change the fecking motherboard and stop harassing us !
You cant fix it !


He must be trolling. No one can be this stupid. Can they?

Sorry, I am not a chemical expert, expert for the occasional (possibly
super strinky fart :)) I have no idea what you are writing about, so
that kite won't fly =D

any good MB will turn off the supply if it detects voltages
not coming up due to shorts or over current detectors via
the support chips.
Power supplies are high current and they can burn a lots
of goodie's before they are done.

Seems like you are more harrasing me ! Nobody is forcing you to read

I also disagree there is a possibility I can fix it.

ha, you didn't pull the memory ?
you should at least do that to see if you get the memory error code beep !
if so, that would tell you that you have a bad chip.

Jamie you not making much sense in the first place.

The bios is supposed to detect bad memory chips and beep about it !

Pulling the chips out of there should make no difference.

Have you ever come across a bios that hangs when the memory chips are
bad ?

If so throw it in the waste basket !

No bios should be that bad ;)

Skybuck.

of goodie's before they are done.

How about this:

1. Bios detects bad memory chips or shortages in memory chips or
whatever.

2. Bios turns off memory path.

Ofcourse this won't work, but the time the bios, power supply detects
over voltage it might already be to late ?

Are you starting to post nonsense again ?

Sure starts seeming like it ;)

There will always be some possibility you can/will fix it. But the
more you add to the number of posts, it seems much less probable.

You would have a lot of pig shit going over your head. ;-)

So you're better of now that pigs cannot fly.

I am not much of a statistics anyway :)

I do like exploring all possibilities, signals, situations, analyzes,
interpretations, observations, opinions, in takes, experiences, hints,
remarks, theories, conclusions, information, specifications, manuals
and so on :)

The amount of time that you and unfotunately we are investing trying to help
you with this is not worth it. get a new motherboard. If its in warranty RMA
the damn thing, if not give it a quick funeral and get a new board.
