Can't boot my p4 3.0

[peyton94]

I have a P4 that I am putting together. I can not get it to see the cd rom that has the windows XP in it.

I have tried to change monitors, video cards, motherboard, even reseeded all devices but I can not get anything to view onto the screen. Am running an orginal copy of windows XP to try to set up the computer but if I can't see anything it makes it a little hard to do the setup.

Anyone with some help for me?

Do you hear any beeps?

If you've swapped out every other component and still no lovin, its possible your CPU is broken.

That is one thing I didn't want to hear Zero since I just got that sent to as a replacement from intel. Others have said it could be the cpu or the cd rom. Right now it has totally died on me and will not start up any longer. If it ain't one thing it is another.

it can be or Cpu or mobo
just my 2cents man

No beeps, just the cd rom running no where. But now not even that.
That is what I thought with the motherboard but I switched to another motherboard and nothing. The cpu or the cd rom is all that is left.

Check your PS connector, and make sure no pins got pushed back.
Look at my recent build and you'll see what happened to me.
The pin gets pushed back, you can't see it, and nothing powers up.

Thanks for that info NoGodForMe. I didn't think about it and I did push in numerous time to make sure it was connected. I shall look when I get home from work.
