hi all
i have a major problem:
i think it's the mainboard since all otehr components seem to work well
BTW i have a 7NJS Zenith board which ships with a 5 1/4 box called Cbox 2 which shows the POST codes on a display
well here it is:
during boot most of the time (~90+% that is) it either stops at POST C3, does a loop upto C3 and back (always reboots upto POST C3) or stops at POST 05
for clearity:
the manual says that:
POST C3 is "Expand compressed BIOS to DRAM"
and
POST 05 is " 3.)Blank out screen / 4.) clear CMOS error flag"
and even if a manage (that's the wrong word.. better: if i'm lucky enough) to boot the machine it shuts down all of a sudden after a nondefinite time (may be days, may be 10 mins... random)
and it's not the CPU since i checked that with MBM5
does anybody know what to do??..
i really need help on that since now it's only luck to get the machine to boot through
thank you
