grignes · 06-24-2008, 12:42 PM

Hai I am girgn.I am having a gigabyte GA 965-DS3 Motherboard,1.5gb of kingmax ram,intel pentium 4 3ghz,western digital 150gb hard drive,nvidia 7300gs graphic card and a 550w cooler master psu.

I just replaced this whole system into a new case (COOLER MASTER CM690),But when I replaced everything into this case it doesnt gets on, like it is not showing any display no beep just it go on restarting only the power led light is displayed.the hard disk is not loading,just it go on restarting without loading the processor and hard disk.

I have done everything I can,like I replaced the psu with 650w thermaltake,changed the ram to 2gb corsair dominator, but still this problem continuous.

So please help me guys please!I am stuck with this for a month

Set the board up outside of the case, you may have a wayward
brass standoff grounding the board. The mobo cannot touch the
case, or be grounded by a standoff that is not in the right place..

Can It Be The Problem Of Ram Or Cmos Battery?

slimhack · 06-25-2008, 03:01 AM

The problem can't be with the RAM or Battery - i'd suggest you do what MANIC proposing. it could be some grounding with the new case.

when you put it back into the old case, is everything alright again?

LMAO at caps. If your brother has updated the BIOS with a BIOS file for another motherboard, then it sounds like the motherboard is probably knackered because of this. Only thing left to try is a BIOS flash utility on floppy with the proper BIOS file and then boot from floppy if you can.

**manic** · 06-26-2008, 03:36 AM

As Lazareth1 mentioned, lots of luck with that. If the wrong flash
was used the cmos chip may need replacing.

guranteed that you will need to replace your bios CHIP

go to ebay and do a search for "bios chip" you will find plenty of chip programmers who will get you the correct bios and then you system will breath air again

Grigne:so You Want Me Change The Bios Chip.as I Am Beginner To This Troubleshooting I Dont Know Which Bios Chip Is Compatible With My Motherboard And I Even Dont Know Where The Bios Chip Is Located In The Motherboard.

Is The Bios Chip Is Removable Or I Should Give To Computer Service Center To Replace The Chip?

If Any Body Can Help Me Where Is The Bios Chip Is Located Or How To Replace It Please Help Me!

You have a gigabyte GA 965-DS3 go to manufacturers website and
find the online manual. That will give you a layout of the board.
The chip is probably close to the cmos battery. Its actually a eeprom,
or eprom. You can take it out with a paper clip, bent properly. If you
can find a local shop call them and ask them if they have a eeprom
burner. If they dont they will tell you the board is toast and try and
sell you another one. As mentioned do a search on ebay., for bios
chip/eeprom..cheaper than a new board, do some googling on the
subject to get familiar with what we are saying...
