Hi there,
Since a couple of days, my 4 mths old NM10-A-E mobo is acting up. When I push the power button, it looks like it's booting up, then after a couple of seconds, short beep, powers down and powers back on...and again and again until I unplug the PSU. No display of any sort on the monitor.
There are 2 green leds on the mobo, the first one is constantly on, the second one powers up when the power is on. But besides that, no activity of any sort...
Removed the bios battery, doesn't make any difference.
Any idea would be really appreciated!
Thx!

Run a bench test and confirm that nothing is causing conflict on your setup.

Thanks for your answer, nut, but...how can I run a bench test if I cannot get any display??

I might be worth experimenting with your memory sticks. I suggest trying one only (assuming you have two). Try the other one alone. Try other memory sticks. It's possible it's a power supply problem - do you have a way to swap that out? I once had a problem where the CPU heatsink came loose from the motherboard and the CPU would go into over-heat almost instantly and signal the power supply to shut down.

Bye.

I think Nut meant test the motherboard out of the case in a minimal configuration. (no usb devices, one stick of ram, motherboard out of case)

Thank you, turned out one of the dimms was acting up somehow.
