Archived from groups: alt>comp>periphs>mainboard>asus (more info?)

Hi,
I have an Asus A7N8X Deluxe rev 2 motherboard.
When I first turn on my PC I get corrupted graphics and have taken some
screenshots with my camera which you can see here:
http://www.millenniumdesktop.co.uk/fx5900/

I thought it was my Aopen Geforce FX5900 128MB video card and swapped it for
another, but the problem remains. After 2-3 switch offs and on's, my PC will
boot as normal instead of locking up at the Windows Log On Screen. It is
then perfect until next time I boot up from cold.

Its driving me nuts. I have removed all PCI cards and tried booting with no
PCI cards and no DVD-Rom drive attached. I have made sure the AMD XP2500
Barton is not overclocked. I have tried booting with different RAM. The only
thing I can think of is the Mainboard or the Antec Trupower 430w PSU.

However, once the PC has warmed up after a few attempts at booting it is
fine until next time it goes cold.

Hope you can help!

Regards,
Graham

You might have a video card that's going bad. Do you have another one
you can temporarily swap in, to see if the problem goes away?

Hi,
I thought it might be the videocard too. I swapped it for another one, same
type and model and the problem remains. Sad

Graham.

Bad monitor or power supply? If neither of these are the culprit, it
could be your motherboard itself.

Hi Sam,
I'll try those two options next. Over the last few hours, the fault has
changed. I'm no longer getting bad graphics, but after the BIOS has finished
its POST and Windows starts to load, the monitor goes black. A few reboots
(on/off's not resets) cures the problem and my PC is fine.

Graham.
