Initial startup failure

Todd H:

It almost sounds as if you have a blown capacitor on the motherboard.

RayB:

Is the CPU fan hooked up?
If it's not, it will overheat within seconds and either the system will shutdown, or the system will lock up.


Beeeph:

This forum is great and you guys are always a tremendous help!  Flipping out the CMOS battery seemed to have reset something and now it POSTs just fine.  Except now is giving a me a floppy disk error whereas it didn't before.  But I can figure that one out, thanks everyone!

Beeeph:

The problem is back!  Popping out the CMOS battery worked about three times, now it wont POST and popping out the battery doesn't do a thing.  I hooked up the PC speaker and I'm not even getting any error beeeps.  Any other ideas, anyone?

Beeeph:

now it's working again.  It looks like a wiring problem with the I-Pac was causing an error.  Great...a quirky cab.
