I just put together a P4S533 mb w/P4 1.8a cpu, WD 80gb hd (8mb model), 2 sticks of PC2100 ddr (Compuwiz's) and a GF2 Ultra video.
The problem is, when I hit the power button, the front case fan spins for about a fourth of a sec, then quits. Nothing else. The green light on the motherboard is on, so it has to be getting power. I know the ram, video, and ps is good as I just removed it from a working system. I've changed the headers around just in case I might have gotten them backwards, but that didn't help either.
Can anyone help, please??
 

hello

Does ur monitor show any sign of display.did u hear a long beep or something like that.It could be a problem with ur memory or Graphics card.If the memory is clocked at a rate that it does not support , then also the system may not boot. Try taking out the Grap card & memory from the slot an agin placing it.it would solve the problem if is a loose connection.
 
The closest thing i'm getting to a display is when the monitor displays "no signal" (or whatever) when it's unplugged from the video card to a blank screen when it is.
I don't think my memory's too fast...like I said, it's pc2100 that was working in an AMD system and so was the graphic card.
I'll try taking them out & re-seating them & see where that gets me.
I hope that'll work.

EDIT:I just saw your post in the other forum and my sugestions were already excluded 😉
 
It sounds to me like the motherboard is shorted to the case somewhere. Take the motherboard out of the case. Sit it on the kitchen table on a chunk of cardboard. Plug in the power supply, a stick of ram ,the CPU, and a video card. Hook up the monitor, and a keyboard. You might as well reset the CMOS while you're at it. Start it by shorting the two "power on" pins on the motherboard together with a screwdriver and tell us what you get.
 
remove ur cpu and put it back in again
ur cpu may be fried

i had the same problem man
3 of my pins were fried but it works fine
ive only been able to oc my 1.8a to 2.1 (117fsb) at 1.55 vcore
