I have a old PC with a Supermicro P6dgu board. Back in the day it was used as a Netware 4.11 server. It does get power and the computer does turn on. Occasionally, I do get video but it is very inconsistent. With everything connected no video will appear on the monitor. Currently, I have the computer stripped down to the bare minimum.
I have tried the following steps.
-Plug in a PS/2 mouse and keyboard and swapping ports
-Plug in USB mouse and keyboard and swapping ports
-Swapped AGP cards
-Cleared the CMOS
-Swapped PSU
Sometimes the mouse and KB is recognized together or separately and other times not. I swap things...move things....remove something..... I can't narrow down the problem or have some consistency. I don't know if it is the power supply, MB itself, ports, etc... that is causing the problem.
The board appears fine. No popped CAPs or swelling. No burnt spots or anything usual.
I do understand it is old and outdated. It has been sitting around for 15+ years and not used. I thought I would play around with it.
