Intel S3200SH server board not powering up

[awesomes8wc3]

Hey, my sister has this board in her machine but today it stopped working. She went to turn it on and no bueno.

The standby power LED is lit, but nothing happens when I hit the button apart from a click noise from the piezo buzzer, however when I unplug it from the wall the fans spin for a second.

I thought this might have something to do with the power supply but I have tried 3 and it didn't work. I ended up jumpering the supply, and while it turned on all of the diagnostic LEDs were red. Intel's manual makes no mention of this code.

 

I have tried swapping CPUs, RAM, PSU, Cleared CMOS, taking out expansion cards, everything.

 

Any ideas?

 

Specs:

Xeon X3220

4gb ADATA DDR2 667 ECC

AMD HD7770

Corsair VS350

New PSU?

PSU and GPU, not very good. Try without the GPU

I don't think Xeons have iGPU.

That's what i'm trying to avoid. I am here to ask if anyone knows something I can do to prevent me having to spend a shitload of money on a new board.

They don't. This board has an integrated Matrox graphics chipset.

any other GPU

I just looked at Intel Site, It says the CPU doesn't support ECC Ram.

*snippy snippets*

This era Intel chip does not have an integrated memory controller, it is up to the board to decide what kind of memory it supports, and it does support it. If it didn't support it, it would not have worked at all.

Not trying to be the zombie raiser, but I just raised one of these boards from the dead, mine was 2 capacitors were bulged. What did you ever find out with your board?

Hmm, what caps in particular? None on mine seem to be bulging but I know that doesn't necessarily mean they're still good. Unfortunately I don't have any ESR meters or anything to test them with.
