Hi guys now I have an ASUS P6T SE to try and fix
I would like to get this one working as I rather fancy putting a Xeon 3575 on it and making myself a really fast gaming PC on the cheap :-)
So the board powers on and off normally but does not POST. The POST card displays random numbers on power on - sometimes 00 but could be various others. Whatever number is displays remains static
From my little expecriance this usually shows the CPU is not running at all. On the POST card I have CLK and RST lit up RDY and FRAME do not illuminate
I'm using a known good i7-920 and DDR3 from another working board I have (different chipset unfortunately)
I had a look around, I have Vcore 1.15V to the CPU. What is bugging me is when I look on the capacitors on top of the Northbridge, I have one capacitor with 3.3V (orange on pic) and the others all have 1.12V apart from one (blue on pic) which has 0V across it and in fact it reads short circuit
I remember reading somewhere that a north bridge should have three voltage supplies so this would suggest I have a short on one of the supplies (either on the north bridge itself or elsewhere).
Problem is I don't know which supply rail is missing (what voltage it should be) and as I also don't know which end of the shorted cap is supposed to be ground anyway it's making it a bit hard to trace it.
it's an AC82X58 north bridge. I have the datasheet but that only seems to mention two supplies, Vcc and Vss
Anyone have a boardview, schematic, or any experience that would help me?
Cheers
Rich
