Mobo Problems

coolerguy1984 · 30-December-05, 01:03 PM

I have a Gigabyte GA-K8NS motherboard, and believe it fried but not positive. I think the problem was caused by trying to connect a firewire port to the usb on board, and the usb didn't support firewire IEEE 1394 . When I tried bunch of times to turn on the computer it would start up for about five seconds the turn off. Then I decided to give it one more try, i turned on the computer then the mobo got so hot I could smell it it burn.

Well , if you could smell it , then you most likely cooked SOMETHING

. Try unhooking EVERYTHING exsept the CPU and one stick of ram, and of cours power, and video, then try to boot it up and see if you get a bios screen, and also see if you get a light on the board to know you are getting power. If you dont get anything , try the CPU on a different board, then if you get it to boot up , you've narrowed it down to the board.

i recently bought another mobo due to having my old one burn out. I already installed everything and formated, but computer only boots up when i just have one ram installed. When i tried to install another ram the computer would just make long beeps and the monitor didn't turn on.

my setup:
amd 64 2800+ newcastle
abit nf8 series s754
2x 512 kingston hyper-x
seagate 80gb
fireball 20gb
evga 6600 gt
sb sound card

Find "Command per clock" and turn it of (Also known at 2t, it defaults to 1T wich is on)

Older amd 64's have issues with large sticks of memory sometimes

Are you trying to race before learning to crawl?

That stick of ram could have easily been damaged when your mobo burned up.

coolerguy1984 · 06-January-06, 09:19 PM

I thought about that too but both sticks of ram work fine. I was thinking about clearing the cmos, but i'm not sure if that will help.

exactly what on earth made you think that you could run a firewire device from a usb port?

thats in a class of stupid reserved for only the highest of stuptitude...

You can't expect the pinouts to be the same for firewire and USB. Smooth move. Well, I guess we learn more from our failures than our successes. Keep on learning because the motherboard makers keep making them!

coolerguy1984 · 06-January-06, 09:46 PM

i thought the board did support firewire because the pins look the exact same way as the front usb pins on board...and yes, i learned my lesson.

now if we can get over that issue, and get to the point on my ram issue i would appreciate it.
