| Did I fry my motherboard or is this normal? |

| Pioneer:
I just finished my 4 player desktop mame cabinet and I fired it up but it started to do a diagnostic in the bios I think and it looked like it was searching for something and I waited a half hour and it seemed stuck. Is it looking for the disk that came with the motherboard or is it looking for an operating system or did I fry my motherboard? Oh yeah is there a way to make the computer turn on when the power suppley is turned on and not when the power button is turned on? |
| RayB:
"it is looking for something". Don't bother telling us what messages are on screen, or what beeps you hear. That would help too much! |
| Pioneer:
You sarcastic bastard. It says something about searching for ATI ? I didn't hear any beeps. |

Pioneer. Easy there tiger. It is pretty important to tell us what it is looking for or what is going on as ALL computers are different and just saying "Is it looking for the disk that came with the motherboard or is it looking for an operating system or did I fry my motherboard?" doesn't cut it. If it says something about ATI, it sounds like it has an operating system installed and it is erroring out with something to do with your video card. Please post exactly what the screen says, and what color the screen is (is it blue?). In the future please refrain from outlashing (RayB is a very respected member of this board, and his comment is dead-on), you will find that it will get you nowhere on this board. Just a tip :) |
