Hi Guys I just got a new Mobo. from ABit since my prev. one didnt start. I plugged everything but still the CPU Fan runs for a couple of secs. and stops. I unscrewed the mobo. but still it runs for a couple of seconds. Can anyone suggest something?

Hi I did not get any error message, the system would just reboot. I got the motherboard and everything else from newegg. I think the mobo is done...i lifted the mobo in the air and tried to run the fan and cpu fan runs for 3 sec. thats it. I am sending the mobo back and the RAM back as well. How would i check the Power supply though? Its 400 W and all this hardware is brand new just ordered last week. Mobo is going back now with the RAM..

Hi Thanks for your reply, i just have 1 Kingston 512 MB RAM. I bought a new Kingston 512Mb from Best buy today to test if the new one works...but i will run the memtest on the old one first. But before i do all this i have encountered a new issue, i had done a fresh install of windows XP home and i encountered random reboots while installing Service Pack 2. Everything was installed finally but today morning i took it to my office and now the motherboard doesnt boot. The CPU Fan and Case Fan runs for 2-3 seconds and stops...i am trying to see what happened...i took out the motherboard and put it back in again but still no luck....

Hi Thanks for the reply..here is my details 1/ What is the video card you are using? Ans. Nvidia Geforce MX 4000 2/ kingston ram..although lifetime warranty has had many fualts.. stress test it.. also what is the ram speed ability and what is the bus speed set to. Ans. How would i stress test the RAM? the Ram is 184-pin DDR 400 and when i see the computer start it shows RAM as DDR 333. Where can i change the speed if i have to? 3/ Is it the complete system that reboots or just the software... if only happens when recording, try another slot, not the lowest or top slot, try backing off the threshold of the CPU so it doesn't work as hard..celerons dont have the cache but it's only a 600 card so should not be an issue. Ans. The complete system reboots, i might try putting the DVR card in another PCI Slot..i had put in the last slot in the bottom so that its away from motherboard in generating heat. 4/ Disable the watch dog. Ans. I did not set up watch dog. I have D-type inputs for Gv-600 5/ EVENT MANAGER is your FRIEND it will hold the answer to the reboot, look at the warnings and logs of event manager in windows and you should find the problem. Ans. I tried to check event manager but i was getting some windows service error so i installed windows again, but while installing Service Pack 2 the reboots became frequent...i didnt even install GV-600 drivers yet and the computer rebooted alot. I even set the windows security settings to not to reboot so that i can see error but it just reboots the whole system. I had even updated the BIOS to latest version from ABit. I think maybe its RAM....not sure...pls suggest.

Hi I bought a new Geovision GV-600 8 camera card, i built a new system Abit motherboard with Intel Chipset , Celeron 2.2 Ghz Processor, Kingston 512 Mb Ram, 200GB hard drive... when i am recording the system reboots. I have disabled the ports of the cameras i am not using still it randomly reboots sometimes after 5 min sometimes 15 or sometime 20 mins. Can someone suggest what could be wrong?
