I've got an HP Pavilion a4316f with a Pegatron M2N78-LA motherboard, 6GB RAM and WD 1TB drive. I can't seem to figure out what's going on with it. With hard drive and optical drive connected, it doesn't seem to be behave the same way if I restart it 5 times in a row. Sometimes it hangs at the "press ESC for boot device / press F10 for setup" screen but it won't go past that. Then, sometimes it does, but doesn't boot into Win 7.
So, right now, I have the hard drive disconnected and I'm running MEMTEST86+ from UBCD to test the RAM.
Next I'll attach the hard drive to a different computer and test it with Data Lifeguard Diagnostics
I'll also test the power supply but it's one of the cheaper testers (no load).
Finally, I was going to run one of the CPU tests from the UBCD.
I'll post back with results, but is there any better test that can check the general health of a motherboard better?
