        Good thing you've told me. I was just about to get on the phone with my lawyer to have you brought up on charges of copyright infringement. I was gonna sponsor my next computer upgrade on the proceeds of the case.

        On a more serious note. I got a hold of a 775 socket Celeron D for purposes of testing. The owner swore that it works. I popped it in to the mobo, plugged in a known good PSU and a working stick of 512MB DDR400 ram. When I flipped the switch both fans (4pin CPU and 3 pin case) started spinning and then shut down after a few seconds. So at least the power is flowing.

        However when I shortcircuit the -POW+ pins I get nothing. It wont boot up.

        Any ideas how to proceed now?

          I've checked the CPU compatibility list on Gigabytes website. The celeron D 330 chip I have is in fact compatible with this board but only from firmware version F4. I dont know what firmware I have on the mobo, but there is a good chance its is not the latest.

          Could this have an impact on the mobo not working completely? I'd venture to guess that at least it should start or make some beeps if it at least sees the cpu.

            It may have some impact. When I install CPUs (or someone else does) and they are not compatible, normally the MoBo comes to life but no video is shown. In rare cases, the system tries to turn on and then shuts off. That might be your case.

              Damn it. After soldering four 2200 uF 16v caps I have no luck booting it.
              Nothing I have tried so far made it work. The fans speed when I flip the switch on PSU, but when I short -POW+.... one big NOTHING...

              Arghhhh... frustrated.

                  Sounds like a victim of a Worstec PSU ... are you sure it was working?
                  Also, the suggestion from PCBONEZ might help. Some MoBos don't turn on/post with a corrupted CMOS.

                    I am not sure on Gigabyte boards but I know on Asus boards if you have a newer CPU than the BIOS will support, you will not get POST (it appears to be DEAD, no beep, nothing, nada). You can try to borrow a CPU that the original BIOS will support to carry further.

                      thats why i've got a normal Celeron (not Celeron D) for testing motherboards..

                      Celeron D = Prescott core = not all boards support it

                        That's right. Get a Celeron CPU to rule that out.

                          Just to update.

                          Yes, I have tried resetting the CMOS via the jumper as well as removing the battery when all power cables are unplugged. No go.

                          I obtained a Pentium 4 530 for testing purposes. But much like the Celeron D it is only supported in the latest BIOS. No one I know has an older 775 chip. Damn it.

                          I shall try to take the mobo to one of the computer stores, maybe they have a chip we can test right there and then. I hope they wont charge me some ridiculous amount for 5min of their time.

                            I've a few of these boards at work, in various degrees of flaky functionality, I'll confirm the caps on them for you.
                            Not a clue *why* they're flaky - they've all been 'repaired' by Gigabyte when they previously didn't work at all.

                            Edit: Must apologize for bumping an older thread if it's against forum rules. Scrolling through the thread I saw 06-11 and thought 6th November, didn't look at the last post date.

                              Check the PSU's.
                              They may be bummers.

                                They've been tested with new PSUs, other boards have been put in their places which run fine.

                                    Hi,

                                    I discovered a strange behaviour of GIGABYTE GA-H110M-S2 board.

                                    General test conditions:
                                    - Tested with Core i5 6500 and Core I7 6700K - no difference
                                    - Default BIOS settings, but tried also altering several memory setting - does not change anything

                                    What is wrong:

                                    With BIOS F1 and F2 the board normally POST's and boots to Windows 11 with 2 x Patriot Viper Steel PVS416G440C9K RAM (4400MHZ, Samsung B-Die chips)

                                    When BIOS upgraded to anything above F2 (ie. F20-F27b) the board POST stucks after 3 Debug Codes on Code C2
                                    ...

                                    More eBay specials: this time a Gigabyte GP-P450b 450W ATX PSU for $8 with free S&H. Listed “For part/not working”, as usual. Showed up in a beat up EVGA box without any padding… but that's understandable given the total price. PSU made it out fine without damage. It's a non-modular (yay!), pretty modern-day looking PSU with a black paint and all black cables (meh, not my favorite, but figure it's good to keep a few of these in case I do need one for a more modern PC build, just so my old gray boxes don't look too odd in there.)
