Thread: Possible Dead Motherboard

  1. #1

    Default Possible Dead Motherboard

    I need some help here to find out if this motherboard I have is dead. Its an ASUS A8N-SLI and it is no longer going through POST nor is it making any beeping noises. Any suggestions?

    have you cleared the bios yet? unplugged the psu and let it sit for a few before plugging it back in?

    I tried that and nothing seems to be happening. I managed to rule out the Video Card and the RAM.

    The setup I'm running is

    AMD Anthlon 64 bit 3200+
    Asus A8N SLI
    Leadtek 7600gt
    2 gb Corsair XMS3500 Ram
    2X 80 gb Seagate Barracuda RAID0
    Liteon DVDRW
    Thermaltake 430w purepower

    are you sure the jumpers got put back in the right place? maybe you just killed the bios, you can get a replacement sometimes, i had to do that once or twice.

    The jumpers are all correct and I double checked them with the motherboard's manual

    Ok I think I have narrowed it down again, it has to do with the northbridge chip because the heatsink is too hot to touch, I think that I will just send it back for another one, thanks for the help.
