Is there a list and/or description of the BIOS error messages for the NF24ALH MOTHERBOARD.
Even though the system is working well I get the following message on bootup :
Primary IDE Channel no 80 conductor cable installed
My primary IDE supports two hard drives, niether of which SEEM to have a problem.
I also have a second, unrelated, bootup problem. Sometimes when I press the power button to boot the fans start to spin up and then everything switches off. Before I can try again I have to wait until the red PWR-LEAD on the bottom of the board goes out and unplug and reconnect the power cable. Just waiting and repressing the power button will not reboot. It seems as though there is a ‘power’ trip ~ but is it on the Motherboard or is it in the power supply?

Is this meaning the IDE ribbon cable? If so check its not been damaged.

That does seem like a deteriorating or bad quality PSU. Try one from another PC to test it.
