EPOX EP8K3AT Post Codes?

[classicsoftware]

Have a system built by an uber geek for a friend. The system started to experience problems with failed cold boots and system lock-ups. The system will now only post 2% of the time. There are times the monitor light is yellow as if there is no PC there when the system is off. I need to unplug the monitor from the video card to set it up. When I do boot, I get a cmos checksum error.

Went to the EPOX web site and downloaded the the manual wich says the post codes are in appendix E. Guess what, no appendix E.

During boot-uo the following informatrion is displayed:

CPU Temp 42/107
System Temp 27/80

Chasis fan 0 RPM - I think this is because it is not pligged into th mobo for monitoring as all fans are on.

CPU fan: 5443 RPM

The post monitoring digital output stops on the MOBO and displays 92 and the system hangs.

Do any of you system builders have any idea what this could be.

Hi classic,

From a ePox manual closest to your make.

0E
1. Test video RAM. (If Monochrome display device found)
2. Show messages including.
- Award Logo, Copyright string, BIOS Data code & Part
No.
- OEM specific sign on messages.
- Energy Star Logo. (Green BIOS ONLY)
- CPU brand, type & speed.
- Test system BIOS checksum. (Non-Compress Version
only)

Or

If its 03

1. Initialize EISA registers (EISA BIOS only).
2. Initialize all the standard devices with default values
Standard devices includes.
- DMA controller (8237).
- Programmable Interrupt Controller (8259).
- Programmable Interval Timer (8254).
- RTC chip.

Hope it helps.
