Problem for Intel SuperMicro SUPER Motherboard - 810 (370SEAO)

BIOS not starting




By VETTEMAN on Aug 16, 2006

" "
This is what is happening, when i press the on button, my computer doesn't even budge. So after I unplug it and plug it back in, a light on the mother board and the network connections board are turning on and the fan turns. About two seconds later, the fan turns off, but the lights stay on. This is making it so I can't access BIOS or anything else on my computer. I have switched the RAM to a different port, no luck, I have unconnected the hard drive, no luck, I haven't actually switched out the hard drive or RAM yet. If there is something I can do.... Thanks

- I also forgot, next to a fan there is a plug that is empty, however no cords go to it. My computer is a 766(or close to that) Mhz intel 810 (don't think its super micro however) and it has 128 Mhz of RAM currently.
THanks again

Same Problem

Aug 28, 2008

-   I turned on the pc and worked fine. I turned off. Open the case and removed the Zalman fan for my AMD cpu 5600 because I wanted to take out and old pata drive that I have put in the pc when I built up this rig; and de cpu fan was obstructing to do that. I cleaned de cpu and Zalman fan; I added thermal paste and turned it on. On and off the fan started working and stopped sudenly . Others the fans continued working but not bios sound and monitor image.I connected another hard drive with windows xp installed and the same result.
Have not idea what went wrong in all this process.

OK i found the solution. You have to reset the jumpers on the sw1 and sw2. try different configurations.

you may also have not connected the [pow sw] from the on/off button.

and you may need to change the jumper on JBAT1

here's how i configured the jumpers . they're near the battery and via chip

sw2 sw1 JBAT1

Had problems with this board for over twelve months.System wouldn`t boot,crashes and regular bsod.I was also using the 1302 bios. I fixed all problems by changing the DDR ram voltage from Auto to 2.6 in the bios.System hasn`t crashed since and now boots smoothly.So far no issues

you may have a bad power supply..make sure the 220/115 volt switch on the back of your computer near the fan is put to 115volt selection if you are in the united states.
Second your power transformer may be bad.
That is the unit that blows out the back of the computer, if a tower its near the top. if your computer is a desk top it may be the left or right side of the back of the desktop.
There are many problems in this area we could cover..start with checking that your cables to the harddrive are seated firmly and flush to the harddrive.
Besure you have a system on your harddrive..xp/vista etc.
Ensure you have your IDE cables pressed flush and firmly into the motherboard.
make sure you have power to your harddive or any other cd drives etc. or floppy drive if you have one.
Make sure they all have power to them.
After you do get it to start. Go into your bios and make sure if you dont have a floppy drive that the selection for your floppy is notNOT selected. otherwise this will cause a no start up...but it seems your computer has a more severe problem.
i hope this helps.
Installing improperly seated memory will cause this same situation. be sure your memeory chips are in their slots flush and clamped in firmly. dont force them...as they may not be seating correctly if you dont have the proper memory chips for your particular motherboard.
a miss match of memory chips..will cause a non start up.
be sure your memory chips are qualified for your particular motherboard. and put MATCHING memory chips in the slots. close together , and in proper slots.

Did you recently make any changes to this board or system, like adding new hardware or changing settings in the BIOS? Try resetting the BIOS by using the jumper on the motherboard. If you're not sure of which jumper this is, refer to the motherboard manual.

blave... indicated that his solution for
ASUS A7V8X-MX KM400... Problem
is valid for all Intel Motherboards
You may have also have shorted out the entire motherboard. The reason for this is that when we walk on a carpet satatic electricity may build up and when you touch a motherboard accidenty while puting/removeing hardware from your machine all the static will short out the motherboard. Therefore all other devices may start but the board won't. If this is the case, then you outta luck. Time to buy a new one.

Check your motherboard manual for correct configuration .There is no problem with your hard drive .you need to check your Power Supply ,Processor and Ram ....if all this working go to repairing shop to check your motherboard,because 3 main components are must to run successfull starting of computer to go to your biox setup i.e display + memory + Processor .

Please let me know your feed-back.

BTW, regarding my postings, I replaced the CPU and it works just fine now.


edGent, I don't see how the errors you get when you click "about" or play card games would give you the idea it's a mobo or hardware problem. I just see it as a software problem. More specifically I see it as a Windows problem. Is it WinXP? You need to tell us this. Sometimes Windows gets so hosed up it takes a major effort to set it right and it turns out to be better to re-install clean. Also, do you use hacked software? Have you scanned for adware or malware? Do you use any old unsupported software? How about your drivers? There is a standard set of things that careful people do to maintain a clean glitch-free system. If you've been following these practices and checked all of the things I mentioned then short of re-installing clean your solution is beyond me.

OK, I found my fix. I flashed the BIOS so that it could support the Athlon XP 2100+, and then I uninstalled all the video drivers and bought a new GeForce 6200 / 256MB DDR2 / AGP 8x that supports BOTH 98SE and XP ( a trick to find 98SE support these days!) It can only use AGP 4X since that's as far as the KT133A will go.

This can sometimes happen if the bios has a feature to turn off if it doesn't detect a particular fan (like the cpu fan). Try clearing the cmos maybe that will reset it if that is the cause.

I had similar problems while I was switching motherboards between cases.

My first step was to disconnect all drives, power cables and ribbon cables, and case fans. System would still power down before BIOS dislay started.

Problem was traced to improper connections of the front panel control wires to the mother board header.

I had an issue like this once and it turned out i just needed to reseat the CPU, a five min job. Try this first but always with your safety in mind re examinining electrical equipment. Also wear an antistatic wrist strap and/or make sure you are earth grounded (for static) before touching any component inside a pc.

The fact that there is no boot screen implies it isn't the RAM that needs reseating or that the RAM is broken.

I also wouldn't touch the BIOS setting until after you have tried reseating the CPU.

To Mr Try2Bgeek,

What do you mean "front panel connection header? Do you mean where you connect for power-on LED/Power btn/HDD LED/ etc.?

Comment by two4two, posted on Dec 27, 2007

Here's my problem: It DID start but only in safe mode. I'd get the normal single beep when starting. Normal mode would hang while loading drivers. CPU temp was < 40 (threshold is 60.) If I held the power button it would turn off. The 3 LEDs on the board stayed on. When I tried to start it up again the fan turned, hard drive LED was on, and the drives seemed to be spinning, but no beep and nothing on the monitor. I would have to let it rest an hour or so to try again before the 3 LEDs went out and the monitor would work again and a beep would come at start. Then I could get back into safe mode. Trying normal mode would start the cycle all over again. Now it won't even do that and I'm stuck with nothing on the monitor no beep. How do I follow the BIOS and see the POST codes? (Assuming I can ever get it going again.) If I could get it going again I want to: 1) disable AGP 4X; 2) disable STR; 3) replace to a different AGP card; 4) change to nVidia GeForce MX440 PCI card; 5) replace back to original power supply; 6) set jumper to clear CMOS and start over; 7) flash BOIS to most recent (it is the 11/21/01 one right now). I'd love one of those PCI diagnostic cards with LEDs to show POST codes. My jumpers and switches are set off to take default ratio/multiplier. Clock is set to 133. 768 Mb PC133 non-ECC SDRAM. 1.8V into AX1600DMT3C. Any ideas? BTW, I have TWO of these KT133A boards. The other is a SOYO SY-K7TVA PRO 1.0 and it has the SAME problem. That is why I put the DFI board in. I was trying to isolate the problem by changing boards. I also changed memory sticks but it didn't help. The only thing I didn't change is the CPU, but as I said, I did get safe mode for a while.
