Intel 915GAG strange problem

Post by Parth_2001 »

Hi,

I have an Intel original 915GAG motherboard that I had bought around 2 years back. A couple of days back I installed a Seagate 160GB SATA HDD and disconnected my DLINK PCI modem as I don't need it anymore. Guess what happened when I tried to boot up my PC.. There was no display. My monitor kept on blinking. I cleaned the RAM but without any result. Now the best part is this same STRANGE thing had occurred about 3-4 months back. When I had just disconnected the SMPS from the motherboard and reconnected it again. The display was GONE !! I had to get the motherboard replaced by Intel after waiting for more than 15 days. So this one is the replaced one and it has happened again. There is absolutely no problem with the board till the time somebody puts his hand on it !! Any idea what is going on? What is happening? Why does the display blow up only when you touch it. I heard from somebody that the Intel 915GAG has this same kind of problems. Has anybody faced this problem with the 915GAG ?

Thanks. :)

Sounds like you are possibly hitting the board with some "static". Touch a board and kill it usually involves static discharge.

You could try setting the bios back to default which sometimes helps with hardware changes.

I don't have any experience with that board, so you could google search 915GAG known issues. :-k
