Please be more specific. So your saying its no longer booting at all?
Think its best to raise a support ticket, so we can try and work out what the problem.

I think he is saying that after unplugging and replugging etc., the problem hasn't shown itself again - so far.

And that earlier on, it was an intermittent problem.

see page 3 of this thread as well as a thread in the X1000 Beta-Forum outlining my intermittent start up problems which appears that xeno74 also is experiencing. My config is in my sig and I have changed PSU's recently so perhaps you can compare my config with xeno74's and see if a similar component in both systems could be the problem?

actually xeno74 can you please post all components in your X1000 right here (make/model no etc) if you have access to that info otherwise I'm sure Amigakit has a record of it.

THats what I thought, but need to be clear. As it clearly says "till now". Which says to me, its not working now at all.

Any reason for PSU change?

thought the intermittent starts were due to the PSU as my HD6850 says it requires a minimum of 500W power supply which was exactly what my old PSU was.

short story is it did not solve the problem.

Just noticed this problem & realized it mirrored a problem that was bugging me.

I have this same startup problem only when I pull my x1000 off the desk to clean it out, just did this yesterday. I brought it back in, connected everything, turned on the PSU switch, hit the power button & no boot, no video. I did notice that the hard drive light came on & stayed on, I had to shut the PSU off at the back. I flipped the switch on the PSU back on, checked connections & tried once more, she booted right up & has ever since. I have always turned the system off when done for the day.

Not long ago, I installed an IDE drive, jumpered as master, the system wouldn't boot & the hard drive light was always on. I then jumpered it as a slave, & the system booted up. This sounds close to what I'm seeing now & maybe it is an issue with the installed drives.

My system starts every time now, but I would be tempted to go bare bones on a boot drive, pull any cf card & see if it helps, not sure if it'll boot without a DVD drive. Also make sure the cables are in the board secure.

Think I'll switch the PSU off tonight & see what happens in the morning, in case that has any effect.

I have no more problems with booting since I have unplugged power cords and replugged at the graphics card and power supply

strange as I have tried 2 different video cards AND 2 different PSU's and still same here oh well but hey if it works for you then great

My X1000 didn't boot twice last week The power supply fan runs, the CPU fan runs, and that's all. No CFE appears
