Ok going on 10 days trying to get this PC I'm building together to work. Here are the specs
Intel Pentium 4 Socket 775 processor 651 3.4ghz
ATI 9800 PRO AGP 8X
2X512mb Crucial PC-3200 400 DDR
500gb SATA Seagate 7200.10
Cool master heat sink (up to 3.8ghz)
A-Power Pure Black 580W SATA Dual Fan ATX Supply
And so far tried both these motherboards with no luck
Foxconn 661M08-FX-6LS SiS 661FX (built in graphics)
Foxconn 865PE7MC-S (no graphics)
Powers up with both motherboards but no graphics (with AGP and On-board)
heat sinks spin on both motherboard and video card.
Lights on motherboard work. hard drive spins up. everything seems fine but nothing ever comes up on the screen. tried different ram also (crucial 1gb PC-2700 333 DDR which work fine in my fathers dell pcs) both motherboards say they use 333/400DDR but nothing also cleared CMOS and still nothing
.
Going to try another AGP card but not sure if thats it cause the on-board graphics showed nothing but a blank screen as well. Does this sound like a bad processor? no beeps come from the motherboards also to indicate something is wrong and nothing smells like its burning.
My 478 build was a piece of cake but this 775 is being a PITA. might just sell it all and get a pre-built even tho I don't wanna.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.
