Klingon Komputer Krashed!

[captaincurran]

It seems Kirk has fought the Klingons in my computer for it doesn't seem to want to boot now. i've stripped it to barebones, ie monitor, psu, mobo, ram and a tiny speaker. i "jumpstart" it with a screwdriver in lieu of a powerbutton, the psu runs and no noise happens from the speakers nor a signal to the monitor. please help!

[Gizmo]

Take the mobo out of the case, hook it up to the PSU. Remove the RAM and disconnect the monitor, but hook up the speaker.

See if you get a series of beeps when you do that.

[captaincurran]

i'm fearing for the worst... there was no sound. i'm hoping that's more the fault of the speaker.

Fingers are crossed for the Mighty Klingon Empire!

If you get nada...it is most likely the board.

Try a good cmos reset.

[captaincurran]

i just tried doing a CMOS Clear for a few secs as per my manual, didn't work, so i'm doing a longer cmos clear as i type. hopefully that will work untill a new idea is presented.

[captaincurran]

okay, i tried starting it again after a lengthy cmos clearing session... to no avail. *sigh* so i do believe the Klingon Kase is Kaput. sooo... anyone know where i can get a new Mobo to support the Celly CPU i've got? the specs of the particular cpu i've got is here: http://processorfinder.intel.com/det...px?sSpec=SL5ZF

[Samuknow]

What socket is that?

[captaincurran]

welll..... according to the the mobo's manual, it's a socket 370, but according to Wikipedia, the 370 socket only has 370 pins, this cpu apparently has 475. though i have as of yet to actually count them. whic is what i'm gonna be doing once i locate my scanner....

okay, it does have 370 pins, that intel cpu spec finder sucks.... soo.... yeah, socket 370 i'm assuming

[Samuknow]

I think it is a 475.

If your up for cap replacing I might have a stock emachine board for you.

Might throw in a 1.4 or something P4...

[cloasters]

My old mainboard collection is packed away. If I find the time and gumption, there might be an Asus S370 there. But don't hold your breath for too long.

[captaincurran]

just wanted to put this here instead in the edited post so you notice it, but it had 370 pins on it. so by wiki-terms it's a socket 370

[Pitch]

Yeah, socket 370, same as the FC-PGA P3's.

[cloasters]

Carap, I discovered that I actually tossed or donated all of my olde mainboards. Sorry, Captain!

[bonesaw]

i love that case

[robbie]

I'm sure I have something laying around as well.
Have you tried a different power supply?

[captaincurran]

i've only got the one PSU. alas i used to have plenty of older spare parts but since moving so often so recently it's hard to move all the extras.

Bonesaw, don't worry the Klingon Kase itself shall stay with me. just without the mobo.
