isee ..i can post to Bios...but tat's southbridge ...
wat else can I check if it fries ? except observing it
I can check the information like CPU type and ram ... does it mean the northbridge is fine ?...
yeah, what i did is try to push a lil bit down to make sure the HS makes a full contact to the board...I tried to take out the hs ...the northbridge looks fine and still has some thermal compound on it...
and what would happen if the northbridge dies ?...
from what i see, the northbridge looks fine ...it does not have any burnt phenomena...
and yes , I do make sure the Heatsink is making full contact with the N.B...
oh..!! U did remind me something ! when the mobo came , I noticed the heatsink on N.B was missing one chip, so then I used the scew instead... How to know if it's overheated ? If it's the N.B , then i think my problem is solved T.T
and how to install L2 cache ? sry, I never try b4 ...
thank you, yeah, I heard the small ones are rare to be defective...
I heard ppl had that problem and simply just changed some caps near the cmos chipset...then it worked.. iono if I should try that...
recently , my friend gave me a mobo ...i believe it's from emachine..w/e
so ...the problem is it can't boot into OS or install OS...
it keeps rebooting and never gets to the OS...even if I try to reinstall it, it reboots and never shows the installing screen...
then I guess there should be some badcaps...
unfortunately , of what i see, there' s no bad cap on the mobo...i mean i don't see one ... can anyone tell me if I should replace all the caps ( which is not a good idea. there are more than 50 caps on board)
