Intel D865GLC desktop board. no power-on without cards installed

[charlyd]

Hello i have 2 D865GLC boards which i tested on my bench,
but on YouTube and the web i find movie where this board is started in native setup (just cpu.mem,psu)
connected to the onboard.

on both my boards i need to install a pci card otherwise the cpu fans will stop af 2 seconds spinning.

all my caps look ok, and both boards don t give
any error or other (boot) problem, but only with a pci card installed.

what are my boards different from other boards??
curious to responses..
thanks

Re: Intel D865GLC desktop board. no power-on without cards installed

does this problem has todo with motherboard caps?
despite that the board boot ok without problem into windows with a pci card installed?

but with no card cpu spins shortly and that is where the process ends. no post , no picture , no poweron

Who has seen this behaviour more?

Seems to possibly be a BIOS issue, are you running the latest BIOS?
I attached the full BIOS changelog for all BIOS versions up to the latest P25.

BIOS Version P13-0053 (Production 13, build 0053):
Fixed issue where system would not complete POST if no videocard is plugged in and a LAN card present.

I read it then got sidetracked looking at used scopes on ebay

Does all the old scopes with standard retail motherboards have a customised bios

Yes this is the danger of browsing eevblog too much, wait till you get drawn into the TEA thread!!!

No, most just use a custom splash screen and that's it, see an example here:

@SMDflea, yes i installed a S3 trio card but i also get a picture on the onboard vga connector. But it just will not poweron without cards installed ? cpu fan en psu fan spin for 2 seconds and them nothing...

Hi Per Hansson, you are right it is probibly not the bios i have to rectify on evvblog. the Bios give the different splash.

the most weird thing i have is the same behaviour on two boards. both not coming to live without a card. And With card they work fine. when bios is set to agp the onboard give a picture. (but S3 trio installed) when set to PCI the post screen show on pci card. tested all things like installing windows on a conneted drive all work great but really weird "that must have card"
