Troubleshooting on Motherboard


Often there are problems on the motherboard that caused by faulty hardware components installed on the motherboard or damage to the chipset used on the motherboard and I / O.
The problems that can occur such as:

A. Computers can not be switched on or often referred to by the term "motherboard blank" when the ON button on the casing has been pressed without any sound. Usually this happens because:
Defective power supply or power supply cables to the motherboard is placed incorrectly or loosely.

1. BIOS is corrupted or not functioning.
2. CPU clock setting error due to over clock on a computer.
3. Processor that is installed is damaged or incompatible with the motherboard socket that is used.
4. Fan on the processor die.
5. Damage to the existing chipsets on the motherboard.
Solutions
1. Make sure the power supply lights up and the connectors installed properly on the existing connector on the motherboard.
2. Reinstall the BIOS program that existed at the CMOS / BIOS on the motherboard.
3. Restore all default settings in the BIOS.
4. Use in accordance with the type of processor that the existing motherboard.
5. If it does not rotate, the fan on the processor should be replaced with new ones.
6. Chipset damaged must be replaced with a brand of the same chipset.
7. Clear CMOS / BIOS function from the initial reset all BIOS settings, by removing the "reset jumper" on the motherboard, then installed again.

B. Computers often hang or can not boot.

This is caused by:
1. Chase memory on the motherboard is damaged.
2. BIOS settings are not correct due to over clocking
3. Motherboard dirty or full of dust, so the data points on the motherboard much disturbed.
Solutions

1. Replace IC chase memory with the same type and brand. Because this work requires a professional, you can fix this by disabling the function of memory chase through the motherboard BIOS settings. However, in order not computer performance is slower, main memory capacity are required to be added (eg an existing memory of 256MB, 256MB should be added again to 512MB).
2. Restore the BIOS settings at default or in any way clear the CMOS / BIOS.
3. Clean the motherboard and the fan is in the casing with a soft brush.

C. At the time the computer boots, there is a message "CMOS failure" and "Press F1 to continue". The problem is caused by BIOS CMOS battery has been depleted or damaged. The solution is to replace the CMOS battery on the motherboard BIOS with the new.

D. Damage was also often occurs due to the connector I / O motherboards.
This damage, such as:
1. LPT port (port printer) damaged so that the printer can not work.
2. Serial port (Com 1 or Com 2) damaged so that all equipment that uses this port can not function. Like a mouse model of external devices that use this port.
3. The USB port is damaged. Often there is a presumption that the external device that uses this port is damaged, for example, USB flash, USB mouse & keyboard, digital camera not detected by the computer.
Solutions

To overcome the problem of I / O port, replace the appliances or connector I / O with the new. You can do it yourself by installing a super I / O card as an equipment replacement I / O ports by installing a defective motherboard I / O card on PCI slot. In order for the super I / O cards can work on your computer, you must disable the internal function of I / O is in the motherboard by setting enabled in the BIOS to disable. The motherboard uses the I / O card installed in PCI.
