Why this great motherboard isn't carried by any major online shop resellers? ( zipzoomfly, newegg - it even doesn't show up on pricegrabber.com or pricewatch.)\n\nWas it discountinued, or faulted ?\nDoes anyone know anything about that ?

All SLI cards are in short order right now because of the memory and CPUs on them... patience.

OK Does the computer work with the old RAM stick in? On the RAM slot, have you made sure the chip is pressed in firmly and that the 2 clips on the end have locked on? If yes, have you put it in the right way round? (usually impossible to do but hey, been there myself before lol). If you have more than one slot, try putting in both RAM sticks together and on the power up does computer count up the memory test and has it increased?

i agree it may be the power supply what kind of power supply do you have if you bought a cheep case and used a cheep power supply it could fry every thing its attached to i bought 3 enermax cases they came with a cheep power max not a good enermax and all 3 fry cpus boards and mb fortunatly they were under warrenty and were replaced but the amd 64 doznt heat fast like the xps or the p4-prescottsif you need to replace use an opteron everyone is using that for gamming now go to amds web site my opteron is the fastest on battle.net when i had my 3700 other 2 or three people loaded faster than me now noone does unless im running a virus scan at the same time

You have probably have done this have you check to see if you have the latest bios. Also see if HP has anything on there website.  You are move advance then most of the people here the only thing I can do to help you out is bounce ideas off of you.  I don't have my network doing a network boot or anything like that.  I have some frineds that use centrix but they have a OS on the systems.  Good luck if you need to bounce idea off of someone imz me.

I often buy from http://www.newegg.com for their prices but http://www.crucial.com has better service and helps you to pick the right type and amount of RAM and their prices aren't much higher than Newegg's.  If you ever need to return something to Newegg, forget it.  It's not worth the hassle.

It looks like the motherboard has an AGP 4X slot.\nA further constraint is imposed by the psu which is 250W at best (in the mini tower configuration).\nThis rules out the nVidia 6600 & 6800 and (I'm guessing - the 7800).\nThe only AGP 4X cards this leaves at my usual source (scan.co.uk) which will drive two monitors have only a single DVI connector plus a D-Sub(analogue) and TV-out.\nThe nVidia 6200 has only a 64bit memory bit rate, so I would recommend an ATI offering - I am unaware of any power problems - but do your own research!  \nGiven the AGP/power limitations - don't expect to get a card than can play the very latest games, even with the eye-candy turned off, but I do know that the 9550 would play both HL2 and Doom3 at 800x600 on my son's AMD2500+. noAA.\nI couldn't find any reference to on-board graphics on the link below, but I did notice that desktop configuration will take only a half-length card (17.65cm)... I don't think that's an issue - it's 15 cm to the back of the AGP slot - faster cards may well be bigger...\nhttp://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=174195\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814153008

Does the post code on the LED actually say "87" or does it say "8.7" with the decimal lit up as well?\n\nIf it's "8.7", then the system is hanging while it's checking the core voltage, not telling you to check it. POST codes tell you the instruction the system is attempting to carry out when it fails.\n\nIf it's "87", then it's hanging as it tries to assign IRQ's to PCI devices.\n\nRegardless, I'd start by ripping out every component other than the basics (CPU, Memory, Video card), as well as re-installing those components to make sure they're all seated properly. See if you can get it to POST at that point. If so, proceed to add individual components one at a time, attempting to POST each time you add another component. I'd also check to make sure your front panel connectors are installed correctly to the header - PWR, HDD Activity, Reset SW, etc.\n\nAs a side note, I've heard about some motherboards having issues specifically related to the main connector of the Power Supply. Is your power supply's main connector 24-pin, 20+4-pin, or 20-pin with a 20-to-24 pin converter? If it's the latter, that could be the problem. Some 24-pin mobos just won't work right with a 20-to-24 pin converter. It could also be a voltage issue with the power supply itself.

Sorry... couldn't resist... the response above, is about as confusing as the question.  ;) Cute guys... \n\nAre there any markings on them whatsover? Serial number, manufacturer? You may need a special card that they interface with.  Dunno... I don't think it would be a monitor port, but if it's proprietary, you might be able to source a spare card.  Unfortunately, adapters are not that common with proprietary systems... If you can locate a make, model, or something, you might be able to find the drivers, provided it needs any, just update the question with the additional information...

the problem is not a bad pcb board, it is the firmware, here is a site with suggestions that have worked for other people\nhttp://forums.onforce.com/viewtopic.php?p=30550, thewy say someitmes just leaving it on for a few hours running might reset the firmware\nlooks like the only other alternative is to send it get datarecovery and repair, or get the bios and repair kit for 400.00 from china\nsorry

ECS motherboards are more afordable, and questionably less quality.\n\nI own two ECS motherboards (AMD64) (AMD semptron) and both work great =) at the rate computer components are changing, id rather have disposable motherboards than a top of the line one, which will be obsolete by next year\n\nedit: obsolete might be too extreme, lets just say most likely to be of restricted captabilities

It's an AGP card, & requires an AGP slot, not a PCI slot.\nIf your motherboard has no PCI slot then one of them will have to go.\n\nIf you investigate replacement of the motherboard, keep in mind that there exist different flavours of AGP - not all are compatible. (see link below).\n\nAlso, even if the new mobo will take your existing processor, you will probably need to remove the heatsink to remove the cpu.  Then you will need to clear the cpu * base of the heatsink with special solvent and reapply some arctic silver or similar to ensure an even and efficcient connecion between the two.\n\nThen it's likely that you would need to reload all your software from scratch.\n\nIf you were to buy a new new PC it might not have an AGP slot, as this is being superceded by the PCI-E slot.\n\nSorry.  The only possible ray of hope is that your PC actually has an AGP slot - you just weren't looking for it, and it already has a graphics card therein.  The R9000AIW would replace this card.\nThis might make you feel foolish briefly, but I hope that's the case, because it's all there is!

Anything AMD go with an NForce4 based board.  As far as best?  There is no real answer.  But, I can give this advise.  Go cheap.  ECS and others make really good motherboards and lower prices.  Read the ECS reviews on Newegg to see.  Check out my link below.  Extra money doesn't mean extra speed.  It seems a $60 board performs equal to a $250 board.  So why spend the extra?

Dell techs are stupid and when ever they cant come up with anything else they automatically say the motherboard is out. I would reccommend going to a computer place and having them check it out. I called on mine one day and she went though like 3 things, and decided it had to be the motherboard...when actually it was just the battery.

Not worth the trouble.  I would rather just buy a new motherboard than hunt down an AGP slot and solder it onto the board which may or may not work.  The AGP slot is sold with the motherboard and isn't mean't to be taken off so I'm not sure how they could have sold it to you like that in the first place.  Apparently you must have integrated onboard video as well since you can get into the BIOS.  If so, you might as well play it safe and stick with what works.  If you do plan to put an AGP slot on the board, be careful with it.  A bad solder job can short your system and all attached components.  If you're willing to take the risk it's a good learning experience, but if you just want to get your PC back up then I would just get a new board entirely.

Tigerdirect is good for barebones systems to start with or go with maybe buy.com... They usually have good deals. Make sure the board is PCI-E capable for the latest graphics cards... AGP is going away.
