sVperbeast2k5 Posted May 2, 2003 Posted May 2, 2003 Why do you think it's not grounded? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinal Posted May 2, 2003 Posted May 2, 2003 because it comes on for a half a sec and then cuts back off its like if you didnt hace a cc grounded you know how it comes on for a sec then cuts off it does the same thing it might not be that it might be some other prob not really sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overclocker16 Posted May 2, 2003 Posted May 2, 2003 Make sure none of the connections on the back of the mobo aren't touching the side of the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

frictionboy Posted May 2, 2003 Posted May 2, 2003 friends comp did that, and it turns out that he had "updated" the bios on his asus a7n266-vx, but accidentally put the bios for the a7n266-vn, and he had to send it to sony's repair facility, way down south, for them to replace the mobo cause they couldn't manually re-flash the bios i dunno, but maybe that's it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
