EPOX 8RDA3+ "1d" POST problem

Hi good folks

I have an EP-8RDA3+ Mainboard

I have been using my computer as normal today. I told it t
reboot
however strangely it stopped at blank screen. After a manual reset
the POST code points to "1d" after which a sound i
produce
through the speaker. I have no idea towards what could hav
caused the problem, nor can i identify what "1d" means
The only thing I could learn from the internet is to loo
for popped capacitors (or leaking) however i was unabl
to find any.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me

Have you looked in page D2 of the manual?

First, try removing power from the unit by cycling the power switch on the
PSU.

Still no go? With the PSU disconnected from the motherboard, clear the cmos
by
setting the jumper and removing the battery for 10 minutes. Then hook up the
psu
and test.

Still no go? Take the board out of the case. With only cpu with hsf, one
stick of ram
and video card hooked up, clear the cmos by setting the jumper and removing
the battery for 10 minutes. Then hook up the psu and start by momentarily
shorting the power switch pins on the motherboard.
