Computer just Died, need help to diagnostic the problem

[SomeOneElse]

I have an MSI Motherboard K7T Pro 2-A and a Duron 800 MHZ CPU NOT overclocked and now the diagnostic leds on the motherboard show all Red.... Does this mean that my motherboard and/or CPU just died on me ?

Thanks!

check your mobo manuals error codes
make sure the ram is well seated, the proper jumpers are set for your duron (not sure if your mobo uses jumpers or not, for perhaps the fsb)

thats just a couple things i could think of, if thats not it and you have access to another cpu that will work in that board, or another board that could use that duron, try switching to see if something is messed up, ditto for the ram

what kind of ram are you using. i believe that mobo is a 266mhz fsb right? you have to set some jumpers on the mobo b/c the duron only runs at 133 i belive. i had that problem on my old duron rig a while back.

Thanks for the help guys.. My machine has been running in it's current config for a year and a half.. I left the computer running and when I came back.. There was a blue screen...not a microsfot BSOD but there was only three chars *--. I thought. "W2K crached ?strange.... well i just restart the machine' When I restarted it... nothing came up on the screen.. Opened the computer to find that all the diagnostic lights were red.......

EDIT: This is a 200MHZ FSB mobo..

The manual says "The processor might be damaged or not installed properly."

If you have a spare processor to test with, that would probably be a good idea - or if you could test your processor in a friend's machine... what was your computer doing when you left it on? Maybe there was a power surge that didn't blow it up, but just kind of messed it up a little?

Thanks for the help.. But I went to a computer shop and they put a diagnostic board in it and found out the system bus and ide controller was non functionnal.... So I am going to try to get an RMA from MSI
