      Some boards have a way to do BIOS recovery, try a Google search for this for example: Intel desktop DH67CF BIOS recovery

        Have read around but it seems to be quite cumbersome and not safe now I'm talking about direct programming to chips therefore this motherboard does not respond to usb, hdmi or or speakers not even for the start button now it starts with a bridge

          The BIOS chip seems to be a Macronix MX25L3206EM2I-12G have read on Community Intel.com

            Hi all thanks for your advice the problem is solved it was apparently a corrupt HD that caused all the misery now with another HD everything works so once again thank you so much

              harddrive?
              SATA right?
              i'v seen that before but never understood how a fucked drive could stop the board booting.
              but i didnt think you where testing with a drive, just cpu, ram and graphics.

                I had everything in place all the time but I still do not understand how it can be so with the other motherboards it usually starts right away.not this time

                  That's why you have to strip it down to bare minimum parts before looking at BIOS etc.

                  Other bad devices always have the chance to cause problems.

                    You wrote about corrupt Bios that may need to be reprogrammed how to do it ?
                    That's a known symptom of a dead CPU or a socket problem.

                    If the BIOS got corrupted, then it's very likely that the BIOS chip is faulty.

                      Do you have a known good board you could put the other components in to test? Hard to know if the problem is the board or something else. I have gotten similar results (lights and fan but nothing else) with bad RAM chips and bad capacitors near the RAM bank.

                        I think O/P got the problem solved - issue was corrupt HDD... or at least according to post #25.
