I recently tried to put a 2200+ ahtlon in my dragon with no success, so I popped in a 1600+. Well I was browesing thru one of it's HD's, and it froze up. I did I hard restart..and no POST, no beeps either. It had power, and all the fans were spinning, and the green LED near the CMOS battery was lit.
It was behaving just like it did when I had the 2200+ in it!
So after removing all the PCI cards, disconnecting the drives, and swapping two other CPU's into it, I put the original CPU..and it booted!
I'm a bit concerned here thou, because it has been acting odd. the only thing I can think of is while I was trying to get the 2200+ to work in it, I flashed the bios, which completed fine and had me restart the system.
Also, I forgot to plug in the CPU heatsink fan once while switching CPU's, and the system shut down after a few seconds. I tried this again when it wouldn't post with my 950+ or 1600+, and it stayed on!
Any Ideas?
And no, the caps are fine, I just had tom recap it a year ago..with Rubycon's at that. No visual signs of busting or anything.
