This is a copy of the E-mail I sent to EPoX tech support.. I want to see what you guys think the problem is.. Please help me this very urgent..
*This doesn't always happen.. It seems to happen only when the PC has been off for a few hours.. and not always even then it's very erradict*
I've had my new PC setup on the EPoX EP-8K7A+ for the past.. 2 weeks. During this time I have expirence a few problems and this one is really bad.
First thing is that I turn off my PC and then I turn it back on.. and I get no screen.. no beeps.. and FF on the mobo debugger. This happened before and after a while of re-setting my CMOS settings from the board and turning the power on and off.. it came back to life. This time the PC was on since 1pm and I turned it off at around 5:30am.. It pulled an 18 hour shift.. now I went to turn it on around 1pm today.. Guess what? No PC!! It won't go on! The board powers up.. I get no peeps.. FF.. cd-roms spin up and hard drives.. still no screen. I've tried EVERYTHING I could think of.. I even took out sticks of RAM trying to find a faulty one.. nope.. I unplugged the power to the 2 Maxtor HD's.. I use the On-board RAID.. thought maybe that was the problem.. nope.. I tried everything short of taking all the PCI cards out seeing if they are the problem.. Here are my system specs..
AMD 1.4Ghz Tbird
EPoX EP-8K7A+
2 Maxtor 20GB HD's on the On-Board RAID 0
Sound Blaster LIVE! Value
Linksys 10/100 network card
Generic 40x CD-rom
2 sticks of 256mb PC2100 DDR (samsung and micron) Pretty sure the one is micron.. I know the other IS Samsung.. and almost 100% on the micron
Leadtek Geforce2 Ultra
Enermax 430w PSU (brand new.. just got it)
I think that is all.. I am using Windows XP Professional. When I turned it off this morning it was in perfect condition.. everything work 100% fine.. I had no problems all day.
