AMD socket A Board needed....My backup had a hiccup.

[Giskie]

I just ran into some problems with a mobo I have and just need to replace it. I need it to support an AMD Athlon 2000 processor. If anyone can help me I have a few things to trade or will pay if the price is right. Please respond with board specs or a MF#. Thanks for any help.

You sure that it's your motherboard? Sometimes it is hard to tell. When you strip it down to basics you have MB, CPU, Memory, Power and Video.


Chances are it is not your power (if it powers on) or your video or memory.

How do you determine what is bad, CPU or MB? cant really without haveing a known good CPU or known good MB for testing.

If you had the money i would recomemd a MB/CPU bundle from tigerdirect.com

Ok check it out, the other day this PC was running just fine, its a athlon xp2400 with onboard video and 1 gig ram. I went to use it recently and got nothing. The case and PS fans were all running and my monitor was off. First thing I did was swap out the ram for some that I know to be good, still nothing I get power but no response on the monitor. So then Im thinking mabye the onboard Video went out on it, and hooked up a video card to it, and wouldn't you know it still nothing. I have even tried to hook up a different PS with no luck. I tested the CPU in a friends PC and its fine, so Im 100% that its the mobo.

I would buy one from Tiger but this is one of my LAN PC's and dont want to drop a bunch of cash on it, at least no more than 30 bucks.

Thanks for the input though Zeb.

any beeps when it powers on?

I agree MB

No beeps, nothing but the sad sound of whirring fans and spinning HDD's. So Sad to see a good mobo go. *sniff*

Yeah, sounds like the mobo. Have you checked Geeks.com? The have some cheap mobos. I bought an Athlon mobo for 20 bucks once.

Give em a try.
