Hey guys, the epox 8rga+ and 1700+ I ordered arrived yesterday from newegg, and I went to install them today. I got everything set up and turned it on but I can't get any video output. Everything else sounds like its working, the fans start going and the on board nic lights up, but there's no output to the monitor. I read on the internet that it might be the processor so I tried my old 1800+(that I know works fine) and that didn't work. I originally had 2x256mb pc2700 samsung chips in there but I thought it may be the ram so I took them out and tried a single 256mb pc2700 elixir chip but that still didn't work. Does anyone have any suggestions?
All I have in there is a liteon 32x cd writer, maxtor 120 gig hard drive, on board video sound and lan. I don't have any expansion cards installed.
I read on anoter forum that someone else had this problem and he installed a 1.4ghz t-bird and that worked, then he updated the bios and that made his 2200+ chip work. Would a 1ghz(100 mhz bus) t-bird work in this computer? Is it worth a try?
Thanks for any advice,
Kevin
