mb problem!!

Is this mb bad
Is this mother board Toast????
i upgraded mother boards

I turned on the computer after upgrade
bios ran self memory test
bios found all drives

then the bios said CMOS battery low, then shut off

I restarted it, then got nothing on screen, monitor was still orange mode,
NO POST beeps either

I replaced battery and still nothin!
I have reset the bios jumper

faulty mother board????

 

The CMOS battery low message is more of an inconvenience than a total "show-stopper ". I'm pretty sure that a bad battery will not cause a machine to "play dead ".

The fact that you're not getting a clean POST or some beep codes is disturbing. If I suspect that a mainboard is dead, I'll yank out the memory and boot it up just to see if I get some beeps. A functioning motherboard and cpu will give you beep codes unless, of course, you've got a power supply problem.

You said you've tried to clear the CMOS, right?

I'd try the following:

Make sure all jumpers are in the correct place.
Try reinstalling the motherboard redoing all connections.
Try booting with an extremely minimal config - cpu,memory,video card.

As always, if you don't use an anti-static strap, keep touching the case metal to drain off any static electricity.

 

thnx,

i booted with ram and video card only.
the power supply & processor works with another board.
