Hello. A friend gave me his broken motherboard with CPU and RAM. He said that it first booted from time to time and then it don't booted at all. The mobo is an ASUS A8N-E. I am not sure for the CPU, but one of it's pins is broken. I thing it was my fault xD. But this happend a little bit later. I fixed the CPU. Without the pin it even don't beeps the beep code. The RAM is DDR400 2x512MB. I have tried a GeForce 8600 GT that works perfectly on my computer. The beep code was something like 1 long and 2-3 short beeps. I read that it is a GPU issue, but my GPU is fine and the connection is all right. I even read on the internet that one has fixed it with a better PSU. My PSU isn't a good one i want to point, but i haven't a second one for testing. I read that if nothing fixes it then it is from a CPU connection issue of the mobo. I am not sure if they mean the CPU or the socket to the motherboard connection. Anyway i don't want to pay for fixing it. My dad has everything i need to fix it. I must just find it. Any suggestions? The mobo is functioning correctly, because it gives the beeps.

PS: When i remove the 4pin 12V connection the fans turn faster than when it is connected, but i thing this fenomeno stoped a few turning ons later.

Long beep + two short beeps is RAM. Take it out then put it back in and make sure it's all seated and the fasteners are snapped up all the way.

Long beep + three short beeps is video. Take that out, make sure the card edge is clean, then reseat it fully and make sure that the fastern is snapped up and you have a power connector plugged into it if there is one for it.

Don't leave the 4-pin unconnected or you may blow out the voltage rectifier on the board.

Hm have tried these. Everything is clean. I have an old GeForce 6200TC, but it's not with me now. I have tried 3 different rams in the 4 different slots and still nothing. The GPU is perfect on my PC. No problems. Even if i overclock it with 33% up. My friend said that it booted from time to time and then it stoped to boot at all. But when it booted it soon turns off i thing. The CPU and ram are 100% all right. The ram is tested on my PC and it works.

Hm i thing i have tried reseting the BIOS, but it didn't work, but i have progress. I installed on the thirth slot my 1GB DDR400 and It had a new beep code and the fans speed were now correct. I mean they were slow when it gave me 1 long and 2 short beeps. All of them. Now When it gives me 1 long and 3 short beeps they spin fast. So there is progress. But the GPU is totaly alright. The PCI-E slot looks ok. I don't see much dust in it. But there is definetly something with the RAM. I thing if i fix it then everything will work ok.

    • I wonder how many are laid off for cost savings, and this being blamed on AI to make it sound less scary and bad, for a more positive "modern, with the times" spin for investors? Because Oracle is down 14% the past year. We're looking at a company struggling here. If AI would actually be working out so well for them that they can do massive layoffs, surely this would've been reflected the past year in their stock value?
    • AI is the beginning, wait until real robots replace more jobs, specifically jobs that require physical work.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.
