Hello,
I have a barebones PC with an MSI K7N2 Delta motherboard that won't start up. It will not display anything on the monitor (and I know that the AGP video card works).
- I have tested with 2 different power supplies
- I have reset the CMOS (and removed the battery for a while)
- I have placed the motherboard on a non-conductive mat
- I have tried using RAM from a working computer
- I have played around with the FSB jumpers
- I have tried using a CPU from a working computer
- The capacitors are not popped, they look fine on the outside.
Nonetheless, the computer will not beep, and it will not display anything on the screen.
I have an LED D-bracket hooked up to it for troubleshooting purposes, and it says that it hangs as the Memory Detection Test. I have put RAM from my other, working computer into it, and it still says there's a problem with the RAM. The RAM from my other computer has an LED display on it, and it lights up with only the middle LED lit for a few seconds, like this --> http://www.rejgond.com/eptin_blog/whats_wrong_ram.jpg (It is a Corsair XMS PRO Series 512Mb stick)
For reference, the manual for the mobo is available here --> http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=436&kind=1
Is there anything I can do besides writing it off as a bad motherboard?
