I have the SY-P4I875P DRAGON 2 v1.0 Black Label motherboard which I recapped back in 2010 and fixed a blown mosfet near the cpu, thanks to this forum. Needless, to say I have gotton my moneys worth on this motherboard and original video card, which I built back in 2004.
However, tonight all of a sudden I get a garbled screen during the POST. It looks more like garbled blocks. Anyway, I spent sometime investigating my issue i.e. I disconnected the hard drive tried a different agp video card (known to work on my other pc), with the same result. Also tried different memory and that did not make any difference.
I did notice 2 mosfets by the agp slot ON 65N02R. They physically fine, but I was wondering if they possibly went.
Anyway, its getting late and I wanted some initial thoughts what else might be wrong. I have not tried a different PSU, given it is relatively new.
Any suggestions or thoughts on what to possibly try next would be appreciated. Maybe, if it s the motherboard, it might be on its last leg. But I want to try a couple more things before I give up.
Thanks
