Good day. I have a problem with my PC. Doesnt want to boot up. I left my PC on for the afternoon, and stay on for about 10 hours. When i came back the monitor was not receving signal from the PC. (It says cable not connected, but the cable was connected) I did the typical troubleshooting and find no problems at all. Memory was fine, DVD drive, video card, and hard drive. I test every device and they work fine. SO its probably de MOBO. I run a diagnostic card to get a POST code, and i got D5. According to the manual the problem is this: "E000 ROM enabled. Init code is copied to segment 0 and control to be transferred to segment 0." IM like . whot thats suppose to mean. I try to google it but no Good luck. SO ill try to guess that d5 code = not working MOBO. Any help will be gladly appriciate it... (MOBO ECS K8T890-A V1.0A )

Looks like it might be a bad floppy drive: Onboard Floppy Controller (if any) is initialized. Compressed recovery code is uncompressed in F000:0000 in Shadow RAM and give control to recovery code in F000 Shadow RAM. Initialize interrupt vector tables, initialize system timer, initialize DMA controller, interrupt controller. From: http://www.bioscentral.com/intel/rc... Or Maybe these will help: Here are some links to POST codes on the web. Check around for others. -Huge list of codes (many BIOS types) http://www.unicore.com -Phoenix / Award / Quadtel http://www.phoenix.com/pcuser/ -Microid Research (MR BIOS) http://www.mrbios.com/postcode.html -American Megatrends (AMI) http://www.ami.com/support/bios.html -Miscellaneous BIOS codes -- these links point to some rather extensive lists http://webenet.net/~ntuser/ ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet-by-group/news.answers/pc-hardwarefaq/ part4 32 It usually takes more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech. - Mark Twain

is the code D5 or 5D? Your board has an AMI BIOS: D5 = RUNTIME code uncompressed http://www.bioscentral.com/postcode...

I'm also having trouble with my pc booting up. When I first booted it up, it gave me a "RAM R/W test fail" message, so I replaced the 256mb with a 128mb stick (which took a min to figure out which one needed to be replaced), after that I had no more messages. Now when my computer boots up, It will go to the log in screen, and when I type in my password it reboots.? it seems to me like like its doing a memdump but I do not get a bluescreen of death. oh and this is on my other computer which im referring to, which is a dell dimension 4500 / cpu = 1.79 ghz / ram = 640mb / HDD = 300gb / VidCard = Radeon 9250 256M DDR AGP / OS = Xp Home Edition. Not sure if the specs help.

MMhmm!! Well i dont have a floppy drive connected so i think floppy drive problems are out of sight. I also try to run just the mobo with the original ram, and a different one, and no GL. I also try with a different video card and no GL. So im out of ideas.

oh by the way, im pretty sure is d5, if not is a 5P (and i cannot find a code for that)...

If it is D5 it has stop in post before initializing floppy controller at the pasting of control to shadow Ram. Shadow Ram Failure Check this site out for info http://www.pcguide.com/ts/x/sys/boo...
