S3000AH no boot?

idata · ‎01-11-2010

I have an S3000AH board that stopped working after a Windows disk cleanup procedure. On power up the LED Diagnostics stop at |OFF|Red|OFF|Red| and the system goes no further. The manual indicates this means "Enumerating PCI Busses." I have removed the Raid controller and the same error occurs. Is this board dead?

Thanks!

Possibly. Can you unplug the NICs, and remove anything else that might be on the PCI bus? Any USB devices?

Nothing else is connected to the board. I removed the RAID card as well with same result. I pulled the memory out as well to see if it would beep and it did.

Weird. Normally I'd say that's a dead board, but that would never be caused by just running a software program.

Found a used board on Ebay for $55. Swapped it out and everything works now. Old board is now a target for my .45 ACP practice.

What a bargain!

Thanks
