I would start here: |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3996#manual |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
That should get you a manual. That should help a bit anyway. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Does it beep? If so, is it the normal beep or a error code beep? If |
| 43 |
error code, then check to see if it sheds light on the problem. I would |
| 44 |
also unplug, give the connectors a good looking over then plug it back |
| 45 |
up. I'd do that for everything I could. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
It may also help to reset the BIOS too. There should be a jumper pretty |
| 48 |
close to the battery or just remove the battery for a little while, |
| 49 |
overnight maybe. It could be that it has some garbage or something in |
| 50 |
it from sitting on a shelf, shipping jiggle etc etc. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
The only other thing I can think of, does the BIOS version support that |
| 53 |
CPU? I have always wondered what would happen if you put a CPU on a |
| 54 |
mobo that the BIOS doesn't support but would with a newer BIOS. I |
| 55 |
*think* the BIOS version is on the box with the serial number and such. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Hope that helps. |
