Generally, when this happens it's best to remove everything from the box except for things necessary. Remove it all except the video card, then try to boot and see if you can get the video's BIOS to pop up. Then put the memory back and try booting again. Then put the hard drive back in and try booting again. You should get the idea from here on out ;-) --- |> /\ \/ @ [EMAIL PROTECTED] DataSphere - Databases, back end web programming and networking 360.656.6226 ICQ: 21106703 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

I don't know ACPI/APM, so can't help much. I did read recently a comment that a good motherboard's Power-On Self Test will beep a certain code if it is booted with its CPU (or maybe other parts?) missing, giving a clue as to whether the problem is the CPU or not. I'm guessing that if it does nothing with the CPU and beeps without the CPU, then you suspect the CPU first, but if it does nothing without the CPU, you suspect other things first. But what you suspect first depends on how easy it is for you to get a temporary or permanent replacement for it.

sysutils/cpuburn lives up to its name
The subject explains it pretty well -- last night I ran burnK7 from the cpuburn port and my system is toast. Now I'm trying to figure out just what it was I killed so I can replace it. About 40 seconds into the run, the system switched the power off. Now it won't switch back on again. ACPI was disabled (relevant, since this was -current) but APM was on. I know the power supply is good since the on-board NIC shows a link on the Linksys it's attached to, and that only happens when it has power. The system just does nothing when I push the power switch. So what needs replaced? The Motherboard? The CPU? Something else? - @ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
