- [Spoilers below] No podcast today as I'm away to see family! Here's a long and winding No POST troubleshooting video instead!
We'll be back next Saturday as usual!
Fault was a corrupted main BIOS and a stuck backup BIOS. This one trolled me for a while because while I reset the main BIOS a couple of times, I didn't explicitly reset the backup. Once booted on a reset backup BIOS, I was able to flash the main chip again, then update it.

All those beeps were Morse Code for 'Clean me'.
Yeah. found it particularly annoying that this computer hadn't been cleaned in quite some time.
🤣
Dust is reason nr 1 why computers die!
@@R2_D3 Heat actually is! Usually as a result of dust. Electronics hate em'. "THIS ONE TRICK THAT COMPUTER COMPANIES DONT WANT YOU TO KNOW...BUT THEY CANT STOP YOU!"
@@williamjones4483 you would die if you see my sleeper builds with extra dust cultivated with care
Challenging no POSTs are always interesting to watch!
I like the no POST videos
most of them are just corrupted bioses 😂
I used to fix computers in the -00's and absolutely loved the debugging and troubleshooting. These days I prefer just watching professionals at their job and get a kick out of trying to guess what's wrong before you solve the issue. I really enjoy these videos, thank you!
what do u do now? i currently fix computers lol
Hey me too from 2003-2007.....more of a hobbyist now...i watch these tech vids to refresh and keep up with the current hardware.......you could have knocked me over with a feather the first time i saw an M.2 SSD.....just wow.....going from a brick of a drive to one thats the size of a stick of gum?.....love this stuff
Side Note: that was also the last time i saw a Fatality board ........around 2006, roughly
Late 80's till now. Though while I was the geek guru to go to back then now I seem to have trouble keeping up with all the new stuff. lol
That is ok, adapt and overcome, do your best :)
BIOS chips can't live with them, can't boot without them!!!! nice video Graham
these are the ones i really enjoy trying to second guess you and trying to get to the fix before you never got there yet but i live in hope😁
Thank you for the programmer recommendation. 👍 BTW, 5:22 this assumption made an ass out of me *once* . A motherboard refused to forget its settings no matter how long I kept that jumper in the shorted position. CMOS reset worked only when I removed the battery, turned it sideways and used it to short the 2 pins for 5-10 seconds. Also, *very* important - when you turn off a PC (or any device) to do hardware manipulations, *always* hold the case power button pressed in and even pump it a couple of times to completely discharge all residual electricity from the caps. This is why even when you just turned the PC off and unplugged the power cable when you go to press the button, fans will still try to spin and the MB's power indication LED is still glowing. 😉
I was like yelling reset the backup bios when he didn’t do that
Boot up on backup bios. When in the bios, switch to the main bios and reflash it. You nailed it at 33.45.
As Northridgefix says, it's not "I did it." It's "We did it." All your success belongs to us.
Da comrade
Hahaha.....nice
Didn't see you next to him. 🤔
omg that extra clip at the end. I love it too!
Great diagnostic video, enjoyed the ride! Looking forward to the next one.
this is why motherboards need two bioses, love this bios setup it was always a life saver. I to have fixed by flashing chips with the 341 programmer, i think it was called that. TechYesCity did one about Bit ROT where he fixed a mobo by simply reflashing the chip with a new copy. Anyways great videos, big fan
The joy you evidently experience when it's all sorted out, brilliant!
Thank you for giving me ideas to fix a no post situation I am facing right now. Thanks for your hard work and dedication to the craft!
I just found your channel and have been really enjoying your videos. I like hearing your troubleshooting explained in detail speaking to even beginner levels like me. So many channels expect viewers to be at their knowledge level. Thanks for bringing us along with you
man, just discover your channel and love it!
troubleshooting step by step the way you do, explain so good different possibilities and specific things about electronics, chips, etc.
Thanks
Very interesting video, love your repair videos, keep em coming!
Second time I've watched this one, but the first time I stayed on to the final comments about the phase activity LEDs. Love your enthusiasm and energy 😀
"Singing a whole tune" brilliant!
You took us the moon & back with this one & I loved the trip!
I really enjoyed this one, Graham. It might have been frustrating, but the challenge made for interesting viewing. Thanks mate.
your shows are awesome and I learn a bunch thank you
Great video again. I really enjoy watching the videos you make about fixing and building pc's. I also learn from your videos so I can improve my own pc building and fixing skills. Thank you sir
This is the stuff I like - well I like all your stuff - but especially this type of troubleshooting videos - keep it up!
Great detail in troubleshooting! Great Video!! Thank you
Interesting one, great that you were persistent enough to actually find the issue and solve it properly, i'm sure a good number of b&M repair shops would have just called it a day and said the motherboard needs replacing.
Hi Adam thanks for sharing your vast knowledge and experience
Great video, and I applaud the coffee cup choice as well. Yay.
i really enjoy these videos ♥ as always fantastic job
This was a fun and interesting fix, wish you had a ton more similar to this one
Excellent troubleshooting lesson ! Thank you ! :)
Incase you didn't notice, when you rebooted into UEFI-A, 38:04 there is an option to flash the A -> B like there was before to B -> A incase you really did want to update both, with out having to use your USB drive. Theoretically this should also back up any customized user settings (XMP, overclocks, etc) in UEFI setup to the other EUFI chip.
i love my 290x that card is a thing of beauty
You wouldn't believe what I've seen. This one time doing a favor for a mate cleaning out his PC I slid off the cover. What I found inside was the thing of nightmares which still haunts my dreams. There was a dust ball the size of a large house cat laying in the bottom of the case in front of the PSU. I hauled that out and spotted the CPU cooler which had little trails that the pet dander had left in the dust caked beneith the fan. The graphics cards heatsink wasn't any better. The power supply was chock full of dust too. I honestly can't say how it managed to survive being blocked up like that but I got it all cleaned up like new. There was dust and hair in every nook and cranny of that machine though. We had to chuck the optical drive in the bin. There was no way to clean the optical path without buggering it up.
One thing I have learnt about this
Always pull all accessories first
Pull battery and clear bios
And start from ground zero
I nearly always start with isolation test.
Love your new place!! Hello from Fort Worth, Texas USA
Enjoyed this one mate. Cheers.
Great job! Thanks for sharing!
Too close to home, oh brother in repairs - I have an older Fatal1ty MB with a Gen 2 CPU. My last boot failure turned out to be a bad optical drive. That old system still does my favourite games with no mouse lag and makes me smile a lot. Glad you're looking good and good health to you.
Back in pentium 3 age I made a Bios hot switch between a dead mother board and another live... because flash process fails and brick my board in a first place. I booted the OK, with PSU ON, boot DOS 6.22, then I changed chip memory, and run a bios update IN DOS. It ran like a charm... :)
NICE! 👍 You remind me of when I added a DDR2 stick to the MB *live* once - an incredibly stupid mistake by distracted me. Surprisingly, the PC didn't even froze. 👀 Out of curiosity, I tried to turned it off from Windows and it worked. Followed by disconnecting the power cable, pumping the power button and then reseating both sticks just in case. Turned on just fine, worked fine and held stability and memory tests like a boss. I can't believe my luck and I wouldn't even believe this story if I didn't live it! Got so scared back then - trust me, I *did not* repeat that mistake ever since! 🤣
I like that where you can go to b and reprogram a. That is a really nice feature.
Thanks for several reminders
Great work.
Nice one Graham ! and I love the shirt!
Nice fix Graham... would've fooled me that one, it's good to learn
Well done mate. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
As allwys sir,a most exellent diagnosis
Tip for you from 16 years of working with Beep Speakers: Eff em! Get a cheap LED (3v White Strawhat is best IMO) and solder it to a standard connector and put it in the place of the speaker! You can just watch the LED pulse then and it'll show you visually rather than audibly, and that makes diagnosing easier.
Quick tip:
If your MB doesn't have a 'clear cmos' button, short the battery connector when you remove the battery for reset. It'll do that when you touch the positive to negative on the battery holder/connector.
when u remove the battery the capacitors would last only a few seconds then go to 0.0v, no need to short any pins
Great content as usual
Thanks for the video mate.
Nice, a fun video again finally!
In my ~30 years of building/repairing computers, I have NEVER witnessed a CPU fail.
Like you said, it's never the CPU. Lol
well I saw a PC that was thrown out, and when I checked what CPU was in it, I was very happy because it was a 2600K. This was some years ago now. Unfortunately I soon learned that the reason the system was thrown out, was because it had a dead CPU... presumably too much voltage for too long, or someone accidentally gave it way too much at once.
basically, I'd argue it can be the CPU, but only if it's a K series :D
It's never the CPU. Except when it is.
@@Adamant_IT I can fully agree with that lol.
Over my 25 years, working on, building, repairing computers a have seen a few (only a few) dead CPUs. It can happen. I have learnt to follow my instincts but also never rule anything out (cables, foreign object (paper clip, screws, etc). Also good to get the motherboard out of the enclosure / case to get a good look at the board and the mounts (within the case).
@@Adamant_IT ...but it's never the CPU... except when it is.
new subscriber - i like your videos and articulation when explaining.
Cheers Graham ... Enjoyed it ... Rabbit Holes are always the best Vids ... Have a nice Weekend Away ... Noel
Another great vid, Graham. Hope to see you & Caradog live next weekend!
It is interesting, how tricky some stuff can be 😁.
Thx for the video 😁😁😁
Well done! Interesting problem.
I love wonderful microsoft updates bricking my bios. Such fun.😁
Another Great Video Thank You
"Take everything with a pinch of salt"....good advice!
Love these videos!!
Perfect video!
Great
I like these kinds of diagnostics videos
Quite enjoyed that video
great job!!
I remember the days when you had 2 bios chips, an odd and even bios chips and even the keyboard had its own separate bios - back then the beep codes actually meant something specific other than memory - a good start is to pull every single card and cable out that isnt absolutely needed to boot - I have seen bent pins on ps2 and usb ports and even on one occasion a duff MS optical mouse prevent a system booting and cause it to sit there beeping on an opti chipset board - BIOS beep codes are specific to the brand of Bios can be specific to the board, in days of old you would get a schematic and list of beep codes at the back of the manual to point you in the right direction - back then there were IRQ and DMA jumpers to set too...
That was great! 😉Thank you
No post are the best vids.....
Corsair powersupply never die..
Except for the yellow label VS series.
Great video. These give me the confidence to carry out repairs on my own PC's and laptops. Thanks
those cooler master are super popular in older 1155 builds, people was super obssesed with heatpipes
It's fun when it finally works...Success
Finally a "proper" PC for a change :) Good stuff.
That PC used to be my dream rig. Even down to the case.
Love me some Adamant IT on a saturday. Just got done installing and enjoying my 5900X two days ago, time to relax.
nice work!
good video. a corrupted bios can do alot of funky stuff. you got the good luck of the draw that that particular mommyboard had two bios chips and at least one bios was working. i know some manuals dont recommend updating bios but the motherboard manufacturers recommend you update the bios to at least a non beta as there are updates that the manufacturer have implemented to fix small bugs theyve found. if not for the backup bios that wasnt corrupted and bios chips that had been soldered into place the board replacement would have been required. people, update your stinking bios and also keep your pcs airdusted and replace your darn cmos battery every now and then, as their charge cycles are finite and can eventually wear down to no use
I’ve built PCs since the late 1990s and I nearly always learn a tip or two from your excellent videos.
The DDR3 DIMM should be on slot A1 and A2, not B1 and B2 like wee see in the bios. But no problemo, for the french man i am, your english is crystal clear and your channel interesting for somebody like me who's working for 32 year in IT and electronic and who's going to leave sooner is job to make the same job as you.
It might need, reapplying some Arctic Heat Sink Compond, and some dust cleaning. My computer nothing, disassembled some parts, did the vacuum cleaner mode, manually cleaned everything, fan and etc. And it started right up and more quietly.
I feel your process is fine. I would do it about the same more or less.
Always fun to see someone doing my old job! But you are much better then I was! 😁😁 So, I became a musiscian....
Thanks again.
5 secs in and I'm screaming CMOS BATTERY
Nice video.
Video card pretty sweet.
good stuff, i just happen to come by your video watched the whole thing very interesting :3
44:16 I used to have the phase LEDs on my old Gigabyte Super Overclock GTX470. 11 phase design so 11 LEDs...was damn cool haha
Nice video!
one thing i learned working with a H97 system that didn't post was to dust it out, i did that and it posted and worked no issue.
The ME is for remotely managing the PC via intels vpro software, not really used as much nowadays with the move to thin clients. Its a bit like the lights out management via dell idrac system for example.
Your methods are fine, basically what I'd have done, check all cables and reset bios then it's the elimination game, I did with my MB left the backup Bios as is that way I know it works
Pulling the BIOS chip out with the battery installed was a bit sketchy. No harm so no foul though.
After ram mobo was always main suspect. Love the way you talk through what your thinking tho...
Thank you Sir :)
Tip: When removing CMOS batt short holder terminals to discharge cap(s).
And push the powerbutton when the jumper is on the reset position.
Good video
Jeez you look like my grandson and this was a good video to watch and I would update my Ivy Bridge build but the budget cannot stand up to it.😉
When did Shaggy start fixing computers?! ZOINKS!
the automatique overwritting is very cool yes this bios look greats. i am new i am learning loot stuff in your video . very thx you are awsome
the best video
good one!!
I remember a time when mobos came with a hardcopy of a manual that had appendices including one with all the beep codes and what they meant. It can be the CPU. A few years ago my wife turned on the shower, there was a loud crack and the magic smoke was released. When I opened up my PC there was a small crater in the CPU, several tracks were burned off the mobo and the 12v rails were missing from the PSU.
