wizrd0330 Posted March 3, 2005 CID Share Posted March 3, 2005 I have a soyo kv7 dragaon plus! that is very flaky. When I unplug the system from the monitor and power in order to add a card or drive, I have trouble getting the system to power on once everything is connected again. I have done this several times trying to isolate the problem. Essentially, I plug the system in, everything powers up...the drives etc., but the cpu is not recognized. There is not post, nothing, just whirring drives and fans. I mess with it and eventually it turns on again, but nothing seems consistent. I have checked all connections. I have removed a bad stick of RAM. I will uplug and plug something or move a wire and boom, it's up. Once the system boots, it runs fine, Does this seem like a power supply issue? Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs1 Posted March 3, 2005 CID Share Posted March 3, 2005 Sounds like just what you stated, a mobo problem. It doesnt take much to short out a motherboard. Not necessarily "bad ram" so dont go throwing out ram lol. ALl it takes is static off your hand while installing the card. Or a loose terminal with a tiny little shock, will glitch the motherboard. Id save a few bucks up and get a new one, since their so damn cheap now -a - days anyhow Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizrd0330 Posted March 3, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 3, 2005 Thanks. I have been looking at new motherboards since this began. I use my computer for alota video editing and gaming. Any recommendations on a mid-ranged price motherboard that is stable and fast. Again, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
