Sarfaraz, Sachin: I'm facing exactly the same issue since last two days. Have a feeling its something to do with
SMPS. Because
I got it started once or twice randomly by touching
the SMPS or
somewhere on the motherboard while powering on.
(Earthing
problem?) Sarfaraz, pls keep me posted if you get
any clue;
ditto from my side. Veer.
Hi Veer,
guess what? i changed the smps and now the system starts up. one problem solved. but i'm into another soup now!
as i mentioned in my first post, the system powered off suddenly while i was working on something. well, actually at that time i was trying to re-install windoze xp. i dual-boot with xp & gnu/linux (mandrake 9.1 - kernel 2.4.2<something>) . xp installed on c: and wasn't working.
the system went off in the middle of the installation process. now when i start the machine, the fans work, hdd works, cd drive works but i don't get any display and no POST,i.e., i'm not getting the single beep on boot. the hdd activity led stays constantly on. indicates some problem with bios. does it has to do anything with the fact that i changed the cmos battery while the system was down?
Sachinji, ramzaam mubarak aapko bhi! can you please help me out with this one?
Regards, Sarfaraz.
