Auo Power Off after 9 seconds 7VBA133U

External Since: Jul 22, 2003 Posts: 1

When I press the power button the fan comes on. After 3 seconds a get
1 long beep followed by two short beeps. After about 9 seconds the
system powers off.

I have tried different memory sticks in all 3 DIMM slots. I have tried
a different 300 watt power supply, and have even tried another new
7VBA133U M/B. I have tried suspending the M/B from the case to check
for a short. All of these efforts produce the same results.

When I install the AGP Video card, I get no beeps and a power off
after 9 seconds.

SOYO Tech support recommended I return the board. I have a hard time
believing to identical boards have the same problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

DO this,
1. Test with a vga pci card.
2. Reseat the AGP card.
3. What is temp (if below 60degrees C, pull auto shutdown jumper on mb.
4. Possibly check firmware updates for a description of your problem.
5. Return the board.

Oh ya, do you have XP? You have to repair the windows files because it's
attached to an old system (activiation.)
