Dead At POST

[CoM_Solaufein]

I can't get past the POST screen it just stays there and does nothing plus my keyboard and mouse are dead. My keyboard port died earlier this week so I had been using a USB port for that. If I have dead connections on the motherboard, I'll have to replace that. That would not be good if I have to.

 

I don't know where I'll get a motherboard that supports AGP graphics cards and DDR memory. I can't get a recent motherboard because they have PCI-Express, which would require me to buy a new video card, and plus the newer boards have DDR2/DDR3 memory which would require me to buy new memory. I simply do not have the money for all of that. With the way my work is laying people off, I have to hold on to what money I have.

Did you check out the components to make sure it's the mobo that's malfunctioning? (Try starting without PCI-Soundcard, replace Gfx, Ram, Proc...)

If it is the mainboard: Check out hardware-price-comparison sites to find a replacement. I can find MSI and ASRock boards being sold here for Athlon socket 939, agp, ddr ram, probably that's true for your area too.

You can go to the hardopc.com forum in the sell and trade topic and buy a agp mobo there cheap!

Maybe I'll just max out the credit card and build my next computer. I wanted to do this at a time when money wasn't a problem but trying to find a board that is near the specs of my current one is hard.
