Hey I've got an Abit IS-7 M motherboard, and I had to send it in for RMA because the ram slots fried themselves. So i got it back this week and installed it, computer started right up good as can be. I was on AIM and the whole thing froze & now it doesnt start. The harddrive spins/lights turn on but it doesnt give that single 'beep' like normal. No beeps at all..whats wrong!? HELP! |

Alot of times this can happen (ground fault short) if one of the case standoffs (where the motherboard screws to the case) is either in a place it should not be, or it seems like it should be there but (even if there is a screw hole there) it should not. Abit is notorious for putting holes in the board even though your not supposed to put a standoff or screw there. For mine it was the bottom right corner. Once I removed the standoff, the board worked fine. One way to tell, is when a hole in the board is supposed to act as a screw to case ground, the hole will have solder around it, and if there is none then perhaps you shouldn't have a screw and stand off there in the first place. I learned about mine on the Abit Support Forum. Thats a good place to start to find out if this is a common problem for your board as I am sure your not the only one if this is the case. |
