If it is not posting he will need to disconnect the disk drive to test, wich is part of the suggestion to remove all peripherals first to see if he can post.

Are you sure it's not the disk drive?

Try booting from a live CD and see if that works.

Hi All,

I'm having serious hardware issues with my main dev box and it is now completely down.
It's a fairly high end custom system (RAID, custom cooling, etc) that I built myself and has been quite stable for several years.
The box powers up and the LEDs on the motherboard light. But it never reaches POST.
The M/B has an LED that displays the boot hex codes on the board as it goes thru POST. Nothing is being displayed.
I've tried pulling out the video card and disconnecting all the peripherals, but that didn't help.

I'm thinking that the motherboard may be the problem.
I'd like to take it in for service to have it properly diagnosed. Does anyone know of any good hardware repair places in town?
I was thinking of Data Doctors, but don't know if they are capable to handle something that is not from a major manufacturer.
Is Fry's Electronics any good?

Any help would be most appreciated. And the faster the better. :)

Thanks for your help.
Peter
