How good is that what's the 12v amps.

If yoiu can try a spare bios chip it's worth it - bin there done that

 

25A on 12v rail. It's been fine for more than a year. I used this psu on my old Ultra-D without any issues whatsoever, & i've already been using it for about 3 months with this mobo.

 

Where do I get a bios chip from? It's worth a shot I suppose if it's cheap enough.

 

Thanks

with a generic psu ain't a lot & your psu may be overloaded & has decided to call it a day. your not showing a very detailed spec so your power usage is unknown but if your heavily ocing with a 6800 or better then + 2/3 hd etc., then ?????

 

re bios chip Tmod Replacement Bios Chips but is US based. U might find i4memory isi think aussie based Eva2000 may be able to help with asource.

 

luck

Hi,

 

Tried that last night. Did nothing just as I suspected

 

I've come to the conclusion it's shorting out on somthing. Because if I dont have the 4pin P4 connector plugged into the motherboard it powers up & I get 4 red leds which stay on.

 

If I plug the P4 connector into the motherboard & try to power up I get the symptoms listed above. Power on for millisecond then it automatically powers itself off with a very faint "click" which I have now narrowed down to the power supply. I've tried 4 different power supplies & I hear the same "click" with each one (all power supplies have been tested 100% fine on different machine). Must be some internal overload protection in the power supply kicking in to ensure the psu doesnt fry or somthing.

 

Thx for your help

G'day,

 

I have 1 x Opteron 146 cpu running at stock speed with HSF installed, 1 x 4mb S3 Trio PCI video card, & 1 x stick of ram in the motherboard.

 

I've just tested all power supplies on a separate system with a lot more perephials than I am currently using & they are all fine.

 

No way it's overloaded.

 

Thanks for the tips

Had same kind of experience with a Asus board years ago.. comp powers up, gets the first boot screen and then suddenly turns off.. tried dofferent psu and stuff but didnt work..

Turned out there were some burned capacitors.. do you see any bad caps?

Hi,

 

I've been over the board with a fine tooth comb front & back. I couldnt see any burn marks/blow caps anywhere...

 

Totally baffeled on this one. I've been through a lot of mobos & seen all kinds of weird & whackey stuff happen. However it looks like this one is going to get the better of me
