Rebuilt system wont boot

[arajigar]

Hi. I have recently replaced the motherboard of an old system, the only thing I have touched was the position of the frontal panel wires, the RAM the processor and the MOBO itself, the rest of components remained in the same position. All parts worked fine before MOBO swapping. The new MOBO is aGigabyte Ga 7IXE4 rev 1.0. in perfect condition.

I have tried to boot the first time but the system locks on "checking NVRAM".
Health system is reported as OK. No extra beeps, just one short at startup.

I have noticed that RAM sticks were sitted on slot 2 and 3 instead of 1 and 2. Re seated them and tried to boot. The system showed the same behaviour, stuck on "checking NVRAM". Tried 4 times changing their position. No luck.

Then I surfed in Tomshardware forums and saw that it is related with USB conections that fail. So I removed the frontal USB connections. When I try to boot, the pc started without touching it, just plugging it to the wall jack!, it doesen't even turn off when I press the power button. I did unplug all because the pc won't turn off.

Tried to re connect all frontal wires to the MOBO as I have read surfing again. Now the system doesen't boot automatically, but when I press the power button I only receive a black screen. To turn it off I have to press the power button for 5 secs.

Well, then I read again and some threads talk about removing tha MOBO's battery, which I did, but the same black screen is what I've obtained. I still need 5 secs to make the system powers off.

This MOBO worked fineand no changes have been made on the BIOS. I don' t receive any extrange beeps.

Please...HELP!!! 🙁

Clear CMOS newer bios in my experience and Hella bad about hanging some time I've had to pull the battery use the CMOS clear jumpers and leave if off for 5 or 10 min after unplugging from wall pulling battery and holding in power button to fully discharge they system if don't wouldn't show my blueray burner or other bootable devices as uefi. Also double check Make sure ya got hd led and power reset ect plugged into the right jumpers on your board hope that helps

Picked Wildcard's solution. All worked now!. I put the jumper on the clear cmos position, restarted and all worked fine. The only thing that is not working is the bios setup. When I enter the power management it hangs up, maybe the battery is empty...

Hi again. Because I am very mulish, I have tried to plug the USB frontal panel again, If I have it, why shouldn't I use it?, well, because of that I am still on "checking NVRAM" stuck situation. Any help?, I'm sure this MOBO support USB frontal panels because I saw them mounted in other systems and because the MOBO's manual say so, btw, I have triex to put the CMOS jumper on reset with no luck. 🙁

Hi Wildcard!. The system runs now smooth at 1114 mhz (I have underclock the system a bit), with temps of 47 degrees Celsius on Idle with a room temp of 27 degrees Celsius, 52 degrees on load (I have replaced the CPU HS for a 95w NOX HummercH100), but I still cannot install the frontal USBs. Finally I get a PCI USB hub from Conceptronic and I soved the problem. The thing I cannot make work is the BIOS, it get stuck on PC Health config. If you know how to solve this pleas tell me, I want to configure several things before consider the system is done. Here's the thread with the problem...

as for frontal usbs . on some othe pcs I built usb 1 header on the case don't awayls work with usb 2.0 actually had to research and trim the plugs or swap some of the wires to dirrent holes to get em to work in the past.

yeah that's a old althoin system ya running there geesh I got rib of my 9600 phenom build.
if your having to underclock the cpu to get it to run stable I'm thinking board finnaly shot or it got the old 64 bit glitch on the cpu like mine got .
if ram the 9600 phenom and full clock it would keep crashing with secondary processor interrupts. soon as would under clok the cpu ran stable .
but never ran right after that .
might be time to retire the old girl and relace it with a new build the 8350 fx s and 9370 to 9590 are real cheapo now specially with amd zen chips slated to release to oems later this year and consumers 1st quarter next year
