Mobo replacement questions
I currently have the following:
CPU = pentium d840 MOTHERBOARD = ecs c19a sli RAM = Corsair TWINX 2048MB PC5400 DDR2 667MHz (2x1024) OS = xp pro HDD= EIDE (Ithink) it's not SATA cause it has flat old style (ribbon) cable POWER SUPPLY = 450w VIDEO CARD = ati (pci) SOUND CARD = onboard The mobo failed. Green light on monitor flashes but NO post. I am sure it's the mobo because I ran my HDD on another computer w/ identical mobo and it booted and fine so I swapped them out. I want to replace the mobo with one that is compatible enough to boot and install drivers if necessary. I DO NOT WANT TO REINSTALL XP PRO. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Below is info copied from ecs c19a sli manual: The motherboard incorporates the C19XE Northbridge (NB) and MCP51 Southbridge (SB) chipsets. The Northbridge supports a Front Side Bus (FSB) frequency of 1066/800/533 MHz using a scalable FSB Vcc_CPU. The memory controller supports DDR2 memory DIMM frequencies of 667/533 MHz. It supports four DDR2 sockets with up to maximum memory of 16 GB. DDR2 Maximum memory bandwidth of 10.7 GB/s in dual-channel interleaved mode ***uming DDR2 667 MHz. High resolution graphics via two PCI Express slots, intended for SLI mode Graphics Interface, are fully compliant to the PCI Express Base Specification revision 1.0a. The MCP51 Southbridge is a highly integrated media and communications processor (MCP) with up to 800 MHz HyperTransport link interface. It supports three PCI slots which are PCI 2.3 compliant. With the integrated SATA II controllers, this motherboard supports four drives up to 3.0 Gb/s per direction per channel. USB 2.0 Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI) provides up to 8 USB 2.0 ports. The MCP51 supports advanced system and power management features with integrated system power sequencing support. |
