  • I go about fixing my old ASRock 970 Extreme3 motherboard. I think that it is dead, but I have some ways to try and fix it. I try replacing the battery, and that seems to have worked.

      It might have been something else. Your pc would still boot without the CMOS battery because all. CMOS does is control date and time.

I've tested all the other parts and everything is ok but the mobo. I'm gonna try changing the cmos battery since I have gotten errors about cmos in the pass. Wish me luck.

    Is this build good? Is the power supply enough for all of this? Just wondering.
    - 32GB Ram
    - Intel i7 4.0ghz (Unlocked)
    - GTX 970 4GB DDR5
    - ASUS Z97-P Motherboard
    - Corasir SPEC-01 Case.
    - XFX XT Series 600W PSU
    - (Haven't decided fans or CPU cooler)

    Hello: I don't know if you can help me. I have an Intel DZ68BC that stopped working overnight. When checking it I opted to change my Corsair HX850 power supply because the fan would spin for 2 seconds and stop. I bought another new Corsair RM750 and the problem remained the same. I also noticed that the skull does not turn on the lights and the number on it indicates is 58. The monitor and the two cdrooms stopped working. It is also impossible to access the Bios because the computer turns on for 2 seconds and turns itself off. I cleaned the processor (i7 -2600K-LGA 1155) and changed the paste, I cleaned the memories (4x4GB) and the fans and everything remains the same.
    Can you help me with the solution or tell me what I can do or check, or is it that the motherboard has already died and I must replace it, if so, do you know any other similar that you can recommend? Your help will be very appreciated.
    Thank You, Jean Batalle
    Please Excuse my English.

    • @SamsTechTips
      @SamsTechTips  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Have you taken the motherboard out and tried to run it outside of the case? There could be a short somewhere and it's just turning itself off to prevent damage. Taking it out of the case would eliminate the possibility of they case to motherboard short.

    hey mate so i just want your opinion on this matter , i have my pc 2 years now and i always used to power it on 2 times before it could actually boot up . So i had some problems too sometimes it couldnt even post or beep but i would try some "remedies" like taking off Ram ,battery etc . But now some days ago i played a game and it crashed and now it wont beep or post again i tried taking the battery off but nothing . Also usb ports dont work as well as my Gpu fans will spin for a brief moment but they wont go all the way . Sorry for the long message i need your help buddy . ty a lot

    • @SamsTechTips

      so did you buy a new mobo (which one) and or seasonic power supply, thinking back to your 1 year ago comment? then again a 6350 & r9270dx gpu are older than god. That you could game with such antiquated equipment is surprising.

    the fans of the new gpu rotating too but after 5or 7 sec they stop and start again to spin and the red led lights of the mobo are shining. will this solution in your video help my mobo?

      originally it's not my computer. it's someone who from day one when he bought it had problems with it and the back and forth with Dell made time run out on the warranty. I thought I could fix it but no cigar. may put a different motherboard. I am fixing this computer at no charge for the guy who I consider more than an acquaintance. plus it's a challenge. anyway all the research I've done on this computer has it's pros and cons. I am really trying to understand your question in many forms of expressions. the one I came up with was, how do I describe: rubbing hands together with a eerie voice, at least you didn't say "my precious" giving thumbs up to your question

      Depends if you have amd or intel
      Intel:
      Let it dry
      Amd:
      Buy a new one.
