Hi all,
I'm a newbie on these forums and am hoping someone has a suggestion for my hardware issue. Back in 2005, I built myself a Tyan S2895 MB system with dual AMD Opteron single-core CPUs. Although obsolete nowadays, it was working fine until the Enermax PS blew out with sparks and a burnt smell. I replaced that with a Seasonic 800W PS.
Since replacement, I am faced with a very consistent problem - when I hit the power switch on the MB or the case button, 9 times out of 10, power comes on and the fans will all spin for just a second or so but then everything shuts down. Often, I will then get 4 single beeps. If I try this enough times, eventually, I'll get a full boot.
I've checked all plugs, wires, cables, etc. but to no avail. Perhaps something got damaged when the original PS blew out? Any ideas out there?
Thanks,
Andrew
