Hi, I have a thermalake TR2-430W psu. I'm running a Radeon X850xt, an aftermarket fan on the radeon, a small fan on the cpu, 2 CD drives and 1 HD, with 4 sticks of Pc3200 512meg kingston ram.
Tonight my pc started running like mud. Then I had to hard reset it after waiting 10 minutes for it to soft-reset. Then I would freeze on the ram checking part of bootup. Would beep incessently if I tried to get into the Bios. Then... it just beeped like crazy and the green power LED would blink with the beeping. I un-plugged everything, still beeps. I unplug ATX, no noise... I'm not too much of a techie... but this tells me it's probably the power supply, maybe the board. Ideas?
Troubleshooting has to be a systematic process. Start with the bare basics. To get a successful POST (Power On Self Test) you need only the following items connected: Motherboard Powersupply ( 20/24 pin power connector plus 4 pin P4 CPU power connector) 1 stick of ram Monitor plugged into geaphics ( I believe the motherboard listed has onboard graphics) CPU with heatsink & fan connected Keyboard
No harddrives or optic drives. No plug-in AGP or PCI cards. Nothing connected to any USB ports.
What happens when you try to start up in this barebones configuration? What if any sequence of beeps do you get from the motherboard?
I used to have a signature but it disappeared and I just couldn't be bothered writing another so please feel free to ingore this.
I removed everything and started from scratch. Everything seemed normal. Then when I plugged all my peripherals back in, it takes 2 minutes to get past memcheck, and for some reason I get this strange... warning I guess? "CPUID :0F33 Patch ID:000c"
