Thanks, I have already looked around for a way of switching off standby power. A friend of mine suggested samething, but there doesn't appear to be that facility that I can find. Thanks anyway Candleman

No it doesn't. This is the first computer that i've had this trouble with. it seems a bit extreme to switch off the power supply just to cut off the light to the mouse. trouble is, the supplied manual is naff, probally the worst i've seen. It gives the absolute minimum information for...

Hi guys, I have recently fitted a K7S741GXMG-6L Mobo as a replacement for my ASUS A7N266-VM. I am using all the original peripheral components e.g keyboard & mouse etc. which all worked fine with my old setup. I have the usual niggles that I am working thro', but the wife thinks this one...

I have just installed a new motherboard, but as is the case I have lost all the Microsoft security updates. As I am on dial up it’s going to take me ages to download them all from the Microsoft website (Belrac adviser shows there are at least 54 missing). Does anyone know whether its possible to...

Problem solved. Fitted another PSu, only this time a brand new 350W one out of the box. It's only a cheap one, about £6 so i will replace it with a better one shortly, when money permits. I was intending to upgrade a few bits before the MoBo went down. Everything now working fine, Windows...

No I haven’t. I have just copied what was written in the side of the casing. From memory I have 5 rails in total , 3 being used for HDD, CD-RW & DVD-ROM. Are you saying that the 12V 16A is split across the 3 connectors, in effect only pulling 5A each.

Hi again back at work. Its the the only PC i can easily access the forums from but it does mean i can only do it in working hours and between phone calls and flying my cad station. The other downside is i have to wait till i get home to try any suggestions out. Specs of installed equipment as...

I didn't realise that was all i had to do to reset Bios. I have done this before, so i am just being a plonker not realising what you meant. As a matter of course i change these batteries on the MoBos that i have fitted, including this one so i guess it was reset at that point. To date, If...

Thanks. I've never done one before, as I've always heeded the warnings "if it aint broke don't fix it", but it may be worth giving it a go in this case. The supplier is O.K. about replacing the MoBo so i do not think he is dodgy, and the box it came in was well sealed to. candleman

Hi donkey42 Tried everything you suggested and more. I cannot get the hard dive to work if the DVD and/or the cd is connected. I have swapped PSU,s and nothing much happens which is different. This is a brand new MoBo, which i bought to replace an Asus board which had gone down (the...

Thanks Donkey42 I will try your suggestions 2nite when i get home from work. I'll keep you posted. candleman

Hi guys, my first post here and i need some help. I’ve just installed a replacement MoBo, and I’m having a problem i've not encountered before. If I connect the HDD to the PSU the PC won’t boot up. All the fans work but I can’t get into bios and have no display and just short repetitive...
