Re: Too many problems. Booting, Switching on, Resetting..

I don't think power cuts are likely to have damaged your machine, but it is possible, for instance, if there is a big inductive load somewhere near your house (like a big electric motor), that could make a "kick" or voltage surge when the power is shut off.

Just one question: Are you sure that the ...

Re: Too many problems. Booting, Switching on, Resetting..

It seems the booting/rebooting/power switch problems require me to send the motherboard home to be checked out.

I want to say a big thanks to Christopher Follett at Amigakit who has stuck with this and made all manner of suggestions to try and get me moving again. And thanks to everyone here and on ...

Re: Too many problems. Booting, Switching on, Resetting..

Lyle, I am using an SSD, The blue light just stays on all the time though even after booting and the machine is just sitting idle and it comes on immediately on switch on where I would expect at least a small delay (It did this with the mechanical drive too). I will have to look into this then if ...

Re: Too many problems. Booting, Switching on, Resetting..

Ok, Seems the booting problem may be my own fault. When I installed OS4.1 FE it said during the install to add a SWAP partition, So I did.

Re: Too many problems. Booting, Switching on, Resetting..

Thanks for the replies :)

I was already down to a single hard drive and the optical drive and was doing a fresh install after wiping the entire drive. I also then installed the radeon 2 drivers that I bought.

I will be on holiday next week but once I get back I will order some better quality sata ...

Too many problems. Booting, Switching on, Resetting..

Hi.

I have never had to ask for help before like this but I really am sick of my X1000 simply not working.

First, It totally ignores the reset and power buttons and just switches on as soon as the power switch on the PSU is switched. It does this even with the buttons disconnected from the ...
