Thread: PC Won't Boot Intermittently.

Hi guys,

Im experiencing a problem on a new install where sometimes when you turn the key to turn the PC on, the motherbaord fan comes on and so does the screen but the screen shows "no signal" but never finds a signal.

The system is:

M2 ATX
Lex/Jetway BNO86T
Lilliput screen powered via molex.
2.5" HDD

Basically the system boots properly 2/3 times but then the remaining 1/3 the above happens.
The only way to get round it is to keep disconnecting power and trying to turn on again and eventually it starts properly or one time i removed CMOS battery and it worked but might be coincidental.

I have tried lugging my huge CRT monitor outside and plugging it in when the problem occurs and this also receives no signal.

This leaves me to beleive it is the mobo or possibly PSU but the M2 came direct form a working machine.

I have also tried turning it on without the HDD attached and still no difference.

Anyone know of any issues that may cause this?????

I think i may try and find a EPIA board instead because i already have one of those in my other car which works flawlessley.

Thanks guys.
