To make a long stupid story short, I stupidly bought a ECS P4Vmm motherboard and a Pentium 4 processor off a guy on Ebay, it was defective (MB) and he sent another, then have been away a lot for the past two months...now that I finally get it all put together, it's DRIVING ME CRAZY (very short putt...)
When I re-boot, it boots 1 out of 5 times....when it won't boot it screams a LOUD continuous beep until I reboot. Then once it goes in, it will re-boot itself. SOmetimes it goes 30 mins without doing anything, but eventually it will either just re-boot itself or lock up.
BUT, the best part is..the dude I bought it from is OUT OF BUSINESS. Shut down the phone line, went away, disappeared into the sunset. So warranty on the MB is nonexistant.
Does this sound like a processor problem or a MB problem?I've already eliminated the power source and memory by replacing, etc. I've donwloaded every driver on every component to the newest version. I've tried screaming obscenities, and even patted it occasionally..like talking to plants..
aIt has taken me four tried to get this post on...it dunked me every time...
Any suggestions???
