Hello, I'm building a pc from old parts. I have found a PentiumD 820 which I don't know if it works, have some sticks of ddr2 (2x2gb and 2x1gb, also a 512mb), bought the other day a used m/b Asus P5KPL-VM (the seller told me it was from a working system) and for psu I have an Antec BP430 and a Corsair Vengeance V400 (just for testing from my main pc). My gpu's are a gtx750 (which I removed last week from my main pc after purchasing a 1050ti) and for pci an old but still functioning Diamond S3.
So, to the point: When powering on, no sound comes out of the speaker. The cpu and gpu fans spin and the motherboard's green bulb lights up. This can't be a power issue cause I have to hold the power button in order to shut down. I tested with both psu's. Used all 3 display options with a vga cable (vga to onboard, pcie with the 750, pci with the s3), no display signal in all cases. The monitor works with any other computer. Switched all ram modules with each dimm one by one. Nothing happened. Cleared CMOS removing the battery for 10 minutes, also nothing changed (haven't changed the battery though). Removed the cpu-fan and made sure it was placed properly, of cource I've placed thermal paste on the cpu - again no display.
I'm pissed cause this is the third motherboard I try. The first one (an MSI) was obvious it had a problem cause when I powered it on the speaker made a continuous beep sound. The second one (asus p5vd2-mx) did post and stuck in loading bios and then shut down, but after some further testing it stopped posting anything and made a horrible coil whine, so I guess it died.
All I'm trying to say is that I can't be sure if the cpu actually works.
Any suggestions? I'm considering buying another lga775 cpu and test if the board works. If not then I guess I have to buy another board.
