Christian3807 Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 This is a reply to my Moco/Cpu Combo for Under $100 thread....I think I won't need a new processor....I think my MOBO died. I cleaned my CPU(athlon 2400 T-Bred) and put it back in and I still get a blank screen(no bios)...I took out the cpu and it won't boot...even though I can eject my dvd rom and HDD is moving(I can hear it) The mobo I got I ahve replaced before....... and I got the same one.... an ECS 741GX-M..so could I be right bad MOBO? since i took out cpu and mobo still doesn't report... I think this time(3rd time) I will not get a ECS MOBO, bad experiences.....I will order an MOBO try CPU if it doesn't work return MOBO So what do u guys think? Good plan...?

Christian3807 Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 PCI gfx card. 541384[/snapback] I have no PCI gfx card....This same thing happened to my first MOBO... Are/Should Mobo's go out that easily, are they that non-durable or is it just ECS?(blowing a fuse,etc.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigred Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 ecs = junk to start with get a new mobo and stay away from ecs 541395[/snapback] aka PC Chips, Amptron, Matsoinic, Alton, Abit, Soyo, MBI, FMI, and several others are ALL the same company. I'd avoid anything by them if possible. try DFI for a cheap alternative... we KNOW they hold up very well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is a good one around $50 dollars...My FSB is 133, and my processor is a Athlon 2400 And I will remeber ECS is a shotty company :angry2: Thanks guys for the new info^^ Edited September 8, 2005 by Christian3807 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cold_snipe Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 I personally like ECS, i have an old ECS in my other PC, and it works flawlessly! I even accidentally smashed some part of it with a screwdriver once while installing a new HS (with no thermal compund >.<), but it keeped on working. It's 4th year now, I think it is a really stable card for everyday use. Must be luck of the ddraw thought, what you get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigred Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 it's not going to be an easy task. but if you find a DFI NFII ultra infinity or Lan Party B you'll have a mobo capable of running that chip at speeds of 2.4ghz or higher.
