Big Geek
I am useing a techaid diagnostic card that plugs into any pci slot to trouble shoot a problem. When I turn the computer on the techaid reads that the power supply is good. The first error code that it giveing to me is " EE-Start looking for diskette in drive A: and read 1st sector of the diskette. When I put a diskette in and then turn the computer off and the back on again. The techaid then gives a error code that says " 66-dma unit 1 and 2 programming over. To initialize 8259 interrupt controller." Could the motherboard be bad or something different.

If anybody has an answer PLease help.

Note: When I turn the computer on there is no post beep or any video on the screen.

Thank You
 
You wouldn't happen to have a card or manual that tells you what these error messages mean...
 
I have checked the monitor with another computer and works fine. The post codes that I am showing are the ones in the manual that I have. It does not explain alot on what they mean. Do you think by see the post code errors that I have show, their could be something wrong with the motherboard.

Do you think by looking on the web, I could get a better explaination about the post errors.

Please reply

Thank You
