well i have (had as i assume it to be dead) a k8s-mx mbo by asus.
recently i encountered problem ie its not booting (hdd indicator led on,cpu fan on, mbo power led on , rest all no activity ie no keyboad led ,no usb power checked with multimeter,no cd rom power ,no power to hdd)although all connectors have been properly fitted.
tested 3-4 psu’s but same result, tried to clear cmos no avail….
strangely the computer runs sometime like after a gap of 24 hrs or so,but after shutdown same thing happens fails to boot.
i had triple checked all connectors male 12 v 4 pin and atx connectors……..
and other connectors checked cpu o n other board working fine..
i had noticed a crossion near the cmos battery on a transistor like component…
no reason fior corrosion may be a leaky capacitor?
but i dont understand the reason like why my pc boots in 1 out of 99 tries ..this means not dead completely?
any suggestions or similar expetriences are welcome..
regards jasmeet
