Back in the summer I could power off my computer and come
back hours or days later and turn it on with everything being
fine. A month ago, maybe when the weather started getting
cooler, the system beeped at me when I turned it on. I found
that the fan speed monitor was set for a fan speed higher than
what was running and that the changing the fan speed lower
limit to allow it to spin slower would keep the warning beeps
quiet. If figure that this is OK since the hottest thing in
my system, even during the summer, is only 44C. After saving
my change in my BIOS all was well, that is until weeks later
when I shut down for a couple days again. The beeps were
back and my BIOS seemed to need to be rewritten, and all was
OK again, or so I thought. I shut the computer off while out
of town for the weekend. Now it won't power up again. This
time it won't even activate the monitor, so I can't get to the
BIOS.
Help? What can I do?
My system motherboard is an ABIT AV8-3rd Eye running an Athlon
64-X2.
You probably should not have relied on the 44C.
I'm not sure what you're getting at. Do you think that the
system could be giving me invalid info on the temperatures?
Try jumpering the CMOS setup to clear it. Read your MoBo
manual.
OK.
If the computer still fails to POST, then you can try removing
and reinstalling all the pieces (RAM, CPU. cards, Etc) trying
first to get a boot with nothing (including HDs) other than CPU
and RAM. When the parts really are OK, I have had decent luck
R&Ring the CPU.
Divide & conquer. Sounds like a plan. I'll try that.
But it sure sounds like you fried something.
Drag. That's maybe what you meant by not relying on 44C. Is
there some way to verify system temperatures?
Thanks for the advice....
