Just did a motherboard and memory update and computer will not boot.
Went from 780i to 790i and ddr2 to ddr3 memory. The computer was up and running yesterday after I installed the motherboard and memory. Installed all my drivers and updated everything, cause the computer had been down for a month or so. The computer had no problems restarting after automatic restarts, but when I shut the computer off at the end of the night I could not turn it on in the morning. The computer is doing the same thing that it was before the upgrade. It would turn on for a split second, the fans and lights turned on but shut off in a instant. Please tell me my new board isn't fried. The motherboard seems to be stuck in stand-by mode. The power button is lit yellow and the blue LED stand-by light is also on.. When you hit the power button on the motherboard everything starts up for just a split second. Then the DIMM LED turns on (Yellow).

I have a velocity micro...can't rem who builds them Pentium I think.

Hello Graydus, and welcome to Vista Forums.

When you replace the motherboard, you need to do a clean reinstall of Vista. The old installation will usually not work since it was setup on the old motherboard.

See if resetting CMOS (jumper pin on motherboard), or resetting the BIOS back to factory defaults may allow you to boot up again so that you can reinstall Vista.

Be sure that you install all of your latest Vista driver versions for you devices. For example, motherboard chipset, audio, video, etc.......

Hope this helps,
Shawn
