Title: MkV won't boot up properly then crashes.
Post by: Psycotron2000 on February 04, 2013, 06:06:01 AM
Hi guys,

Just put in a new power supply into my machine and now wont boot up properly. All the boot checks come up OK but when it starts the game it just comes up with a basic screen then crashes and makes a beep noise then starts to reboot. I tried to do a ram clear to no avail. The same screen comes up everytime. Not sure what sequence the LED's on the main board/ comms are supposed to be doing. They do blink red during start up. Will post some pics soon.
Really stumped with this one. Any help greatly apperciated.

Cheers  :103-

Here are some pictures of start up. After this main screen it crashes and reboots and keeps cycling. Would like to know if it can be user fixed or if i need some new boards???

The power supply was faulty. It is the big gold box type

Yep power supply is exchange unit. The old one fried itself and i suspected it my have taken a board out with it when it blew up. There was a definate burning smell coming from the logic box area when i opened the cage but can't be certain that it was not the power supply burning But dont know which board it could be.  Really got withdrawals now been offline for couple of months now and just want it to go.
