- A friend of mine had the same problem with a MBX1230XA and that could
- only be solved by switching the motherboard, he had a bad connection to
- the board. This can be checked by testing the board in a other computer
- with his Power Supply (it can the PSU that is to weak, if you're lucky)
-
- Good luck
