Motherboard Broken?
« on: August 09, 2004, 04:43:00 AM »

I installed a xenium ice with the pin header on a 1.4 motherboard.
Everything worked fine. But today when i try to boot my box, it starts to turn on/off 3 times and than it frags. (i didnt move my xbox or shake it)
 The led on the xenium ice is constantly RED.


what i tried:
-I cheked my d0 and the lpc but everything looks ok.
- without the xenium ice on the pin holder i still got the same problem.

did i fried my motherboard or something? Some one got any suggesitons?

If the D0 isn't connected properly the led on the xenium ice is constantly RED.
