I think Mojo11 is dead Options

[Dolphin]

I tend to agree with Jeff (and your original assessment).

As you said, "stick a fork in it..." Personally, I think the MB is dead/dying. If you tried another video card and a different memory stick and it's still not working; it's bad news if none of that helps. The only other thing would be bad memory OR the PSU. A bad PSU could exhibit that behavior (rebooting and shutting down) Still, if it's not posting and you're getting nothing -- it's probably the MB.

Sorry bout the double post. I just wanna be "Dolphin."

I would not rule out the power supply without at least swapping with a known good unit. I've seen them do strange things if the rails go out of spec. I've fought with them enough over the years that I bought a cheap atx tester at comp usa. At this point memory would be a slim possibility as it would at least try to post or beep an error code. You might also check the cpu fan connection to the motherboard, most boards won't turn on without it in order to save the cpu. If you have it straight to a power supply molex without a "monitor" wire (my volcano 7+ has a single yellow wire to the mobo header) it may keep the board from fully powering on.

Edit: Also check that the cpu fan is connected to the cpu fan header, not to a chassis fan header.

One thing I have found with the Blades I am working on right now. Do you have one of those $20 PSU's on it?

I had 2 blades do what you describe, changed PSU, they booted right up.

Just my 2 cents worth.

How are you making out with the blade? Were you able to test it with another psu? Hope things are going in your favour.
