Power supply failure on Asus P4C800-E Deluxe
OK,
Need some info. This is kind of off topic as it is in regards to the power supply but I wanted to get a bit of feedback. I've been posting over the past two months about the news system I was building using the Asus P4C800-E Deluxe. I've had a couple of problems so on the info I found here Saturday night I booted to a disk with memtest86 and set it to full test (with the promise controller disabled) and let it run. After a little over an hour it popped up a list of two errors (one at about 256 MB and one at about 550 mb) and there was a couple of clicking type noise's in the case, I look over and saw the cd-roms drive lights were blinking and then it completely shut off. I went over, got down (it's in a InWin 500A case under the desk) and as I put my hand on the power supply to lean the unit over I found the power supply was very hot. I moved it out and set it on it's side and after looking it over for any obvious signs of the problem I let it cool down and then tried to restart it. It cam back on with corrupt video (like the old asci characters, the blinking blocks.) but for only a second. I removed all the accessory's (drive cables and power connectors) from t he board and put my Dmanpdi in the PCI slot and attempted again to start it, this time it only went on for a second or two but I could see the power led indicter's on the dman card only two even started to come on. The -12 Volt led did nothing. Over the past couple of day's, thanks to my trusty old CUSL2-C I've been able to checkout most all the drives and the video card and found that my DVD drive, one HDD and my video card aren't working right for different reason's. I'm working on getting a P4 Power supply to test the mb, cpu, sata drive and memory. Component and problems Creative Labs Dxr3 Decoder and dvd player....(haven't been able to test the decoder card) the drive has read error's. I tried to use it to install XP on a 30GB I'm using now and it kept failing. Maxtor 40 GB 54098H8....had 8Gb of "unreadable gibberish' on it but after running maxblast on it now SMART disk say's it's about to fail. The warranty expired in Nov 03. ATI Radeon 8500 LE works but in the property sheet of XP it say's it cant get the info from the "CDS" so no info is available and there's a yellow mark on it. it also wont take the ATI driver only the XP. I'm emailing ATI about that part. The 40 GB and the DVD drive were on the same controller and power line set of connectors. I believe the power supply died after only about 38 day's and the company I got the power supply from say's they aren't responsible for the rest, only the replacement of the power supply. They say there' sending me a replacment one. I'm concerned that the new P4C800-E deluxe, P4 3.2 CPU, 1GB Kingston 3200 memory and Maxtor 160 GB SATA hard drive may be damaged. Thoughts? Opinions? Any case's I might be able to find online? ME |
