K this could get long so bear with me heh. My freind just bought a MB, Cpu, and Ram. We hooked it all up and got nothing. The only thing I could think was it was the MB, so he rma'd the mb and just got the new one back. Guess what, heh same thing. So my only guess is it could be the cpu. But thats why im here.
K Ill start off with what he has.
- ECS nforce2 Mobo
- AMD XP 2500+ Barton
- 1 512 stick Crosshair Value Ram 3200
- 80g WD HDD IDE
- 350w Antec truepower PSU -about 6 months old-
- ATI 9500pro
K we got it all in, made sure all the connections where right. Push the power button everything started up, fans, HDD, and soforth. But no post just a black screen with the light on the monitor staying orange. Tried clearing the cmoss useing the jumper and got the same thing. Tried taking it all out putting it on a peice of cardboard and nothing. So after all that we decided to start mixing and matching. First tried to use the ram from his old settup(Kingston value ram pc2100). Well guess what heh same thing. Then Tried his old cpu (AMD XP 2000+) and well nothing. Then tried a different vidio card ( GeForce 2 ) and well again nothing. Then plugged it into a different monitor and well yet again, nothing.
Now frustrated and about to throw the PC out the window. We decied to put the old sytem back togather and get help elsewhere. Put everything back the way it was, now here's the best part, we get the same thing. Everything running no beeps, no post , no nothing. At this poin we decided it was a good time to go get a doubble shot of yagger. Came back looked over the MB, CPU, PSU, every pin and connector with a flashlight on both sytems. Nothing looked defective or burnt no pins were bent everything fit snug and did a tripple look at how we had all the cabbles placed. The power suply was working about an hour befor we put it all togather. Now im at a compleate loss. Any help would be great Thanks in advance.
