I had a perfectly fine working system until yesterday (Asus A7N8x-E Deluxe,
Athlon XP3200+ with 2-512meg sticks of Crucial RAM and ATI Radeon 9500). I
took out my motherboard and installed it in a new all-aluminum case. Now it
won't boot past the opening splash screen.
I've tried the following:
Swapping the motherboard for another identical one, changing the video
card, changing the cables and the power supply. I've disconnected all my
optical drives and the floppy, leaving nothing in the machine but the video
card and my primary hard-drive. I reset the CMOS, and tried booting with
only one of my memory modules at a time. Finally, I put my hard-drive in
another machine and it booted just fine.
The only thing left is the CPU... is this possible? If the CPU fried, I
wouldn't expect to see anything at all. But I"m open to ideas. Is there
anything different in an all aluminum case that would be different than the
standard ones? I sort of doubt that, since I tried to put everything back
into the original case too.
Nothing I've tried works... I've built about 12-15 computers before and
never had this much trouble before. Thanks for any help.
