Golden tee stop working

you MUST get the exact make/model card specified. they have specifically plotzed the drivers for these cards into the software. similar cards have a low chance of working. (about as close as i've come is a higher ram sized version that was otherwise the same... 2gig vs 1gb spec'd). also take note of the versions... if you have say, 2014, you can't use the 750ti or 1050 cards cause there are no drivers for these cards in 2014. best you can get for 2014 for sure is the 640 or possibly 740 depending on the version.

Okay! Well I have gt 2009 unplugged. And I’m having a hard time finding a replacement DG965SS mobo (especially during this crisis). Is there anyway I can just get a different mobo? Or even switch from the 775 socket to 1050 socket (or whatever it is?)

unfortunately, the search is down, so you'll have to really dig.... but i did find this thread where we talked about some different boards... some of the later boards D915GUX might be the next best board to try and source.

Ok so on my last mobo, I did a reflow in the oven and it worked long enough for me to play a little. I turned it off when I was done. When I came back it was doing the same problems as before. This sucked but at least I found out that everything else worked.

Now today the new mobo came in (I was able to finally find one) and I configured the BIOS to make sure everything was good. But when I actually tried to start the game up, I got this message

"LILO 22.3.2 Loading ITLinux
BIOS data check successful
Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel."

And it stayed like that for over 10 minutes till I turned it off. Any idea what to do? should I make this a new thread?

Hello, I have a machine and have had it giving me fits. I am constantly getting the Error 12 and Error 13 for my Golden Tee. I have replaced the battery, replaced the mother board, but still getting the same 2ea Errors. Recently I purchased a PWS, but have not swapped it out, since the machine still powers up. It just gets to a certain point, then errors out. It will even load and then error from time to time. Unfortunately, it errors out more than I can play it...

Please....send help!!! LOL! Thanks in advance!

Bump TTP, this was a great thread that helped me get my GT motherboard back running. 

I think one of the best threads around relating to current GT motherboards.

Thanks again lilshawn for all your tech advice!!!

GREAT to have my mobo working again!

I have the imbm-b75a-a20-it01 motherboard with the EXACT same issue. I replaced the power supply, I get a green light on the motherboard, but NOTHING spins up. See picture.

What are my options?

right off the bat, just looking at your photo...

plug in your ATX12v plug next to the CPU. it won't work without it.

although that board has a 2x4 position ATX12v socket... you don't NEED to use a 2x4 ATX12v plug... a regular 2x2 ATX12v plug, inserted into one half (appears to be the side nearest the CPU "half" of the socket) will work just fine. you will find the plug is keyed to plug into one portion anyway.

I did that - no POST. Using HDMI connection from the board. Don't have a VGA monitor. Not sure if that makes a difference. I was able to use a screwdriver to jumper it to start so the fans all spin but nothing appears on the monitor itself.

if it does not do it's "post beep" could be a funky connection on the CPU. if you pull off that cooler and pop out the CPU and stick it back in again, it may start working again.

i have encountered some motherboards if they have been reset to default (dead bios battery or the like) will not boot up without a good voltage reading on the battery and the "first" video device being connected...

typically this is the lowest connector on the totem pole. (typically this goes VGA, then HDMI/DVI, then display port) so unfortunately if you have a VGA port on the board, you may have to find a VGA monitor just to see if things are booting.

failing that, iv'e had limited success erasing the CMOS settings (a jumper setting or remove battery, you'll have to check your particular board.)
