This is my friends machine and second hand knowledge, so please excuse the
vague details.
After successfully running linux for months my friend decided to boot to
Win98 (for a game). He ended up reinstalling the drivers for SoundBlaster
Live! and in the successive boot, the box completely died. He had to flick
the switch (full-blown power cycle), and after that the box never woke up.
The fans run and the harddisks come alive, but nothing else happens. No
signal from video card.
All the warning leds are on, and box does not beep as it normally does when
booting.
He tried taking out all the PCI cards (even video as the last resort) and
harddisks. No help. He also tried resetting the CMOS.
The mobo manual suggests bad CPU, but it doesn't seem all that likely? The
CPU seems firmly seated.
Has anybody any other ideas?
This is KT7 (686a), 128MB ram, 800 Duron, SB Live, NVidia Geforce2 MX.
