I have an issue with my fathers computer that I believe is a motherboard issue, but I am looking for some guidence.
Background:
THe other day my father went to his office and found that his computer was trying to read from the dvd drive and the cd-r drive. It was sitching back and forth from each drive. Also of note, the HD light was flickering as well.
He turned his monitor on and got no response. Tried waking the computer up, no response.
He powered down, waited and powered back up.
It did the saome thing.
Fast-farward to last night:
I turned the machin on and got the same thing. I noticed that it will not post, nor does it give any beeps as to what could be wrong.
THe drives continue to try and spin up.
THere is no video signal going to the monitor.
I unplugged all the drive to see if it would post. Nothing.
I took the memory out think I would at least get some kind of beep code from the MoBo. Again, no response.
I am stumped, any help would be very appreciated.
The MoBo is am k7s5a with a Slot A AMD processor. It has 256 mb of ram, agp graphics card, 4 channel sound card, DVD drive, CD-R drive and 2 HD.
DVD & CD-R are on IDE-2
HD's are on IDE-1
THanks in advance for your help.
Mr-E.
